Things You Should Know About SSL Certificate

SSL certificate is highly recommended where details like credit card number, bank details etc are required. SSL certificate Makes any site more reliable. E-commerce is very common nowadays, due to lack of time most of us prefer online shopping. But what if the e-commerce site is not secure? Most of us will prefer to search for a link which is more secure and reliable. Not only e-commerce sites but all the sites that handle sensitive information or personal information should opt for SSL Certificate in order to provide data security. It not only provides security but also enhances search engine ranking. These are the reasons why an SSL Certificate is a must.


Benefits of SSL
  • Rock-solid security: Comodo's SSL certificates provide up to 128 or 256-bit encryption for maximum security of your website visitors' data
  • Boost customer confidence: Many customers actively look for the SSL lock icon before handing over sensitive data. Get an SSL certificate to increase your customer's trust in your online business.
  • Better SEO rankings: Google gives higher rankings to websites secured with SSL certificates. Which means SSL certificates are critical if you're serious about your online business.
  • Comodo Secure Seal: Your certificate comes with a Comodo Secure Seal that serves as a constant reminder to customers that your site is protected
  • 30-day money back guarantees: All our SSL certificates come with a 30-day Money Back Guarantee. No questions asked.
There are certain things that should be kept in mind before acquiring SSL Certificate:

IP address: SSL is linked to an IP address to provide security to the domain/site. So it becomes very important to have a dedicated IP address in order to secure it a 100%. Although SSL certificate can be used in a shared environment as well.

Which SSL to opt for: There are dedicated SSL as well as Shared SSL. Shared SSL is normally free of cost, no support service and the link are not that secure. Whereas Dedicated SSLs have good support service and cost money but is completely owned by one user only, this is highly recommended for e-commerce sites.

Encryption level: Depending upon the purpose of SSL certificate, there is an availability of various level of encryption. For example: For blogs, the level of security required is less than that of any e-commerce sites. So before accruing SSL certificate, one should be aware of the level of encryption.

From whom: There are quite a number of companies that sell SSL certificate but are these companies reliable or trustworthy? I would suggest to go for a good brand or CA (Certificate Authorities), especially, when we are talking about the security of e-commerce sites.



Tenure: Minimum tenure for validation of SSL certificate is one year. But it depends upon requirement, service, and cost, which one would suit you the most.
