An SSL Certificate is a bit of code on your Customer's web server that secures online communications. SSL Certificates inspire trust, keep online interactions private and help customers gain the confidence to conduct transactions on a web site. SSL Certificates are used by Customers on:
- Web & Mail servers
- Forums
- Blogging platforms
- Wikis and VPNs
- Business Intranets and Extranets
- All Types of Control Panels
- Consumer Portals
- and many more websites!
