What is an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate is a security technology that encrypts data between your website and the visitor's browser. Once installed, your site address starts with https:// and a padlock icon appears in the browser.
Do I need SSL?
Yes. Today every website needs SSL: without it browsers mark your site as "not secure" and visitors leave. It is essential for any site with logins, payments or personal data.
Which type should I choose?
For a regular site, blog or business card, a DV (domain validated) certificate is enough. For businesses and organizations OV (organization validated) is recommended, and EV (extended validation) for large stores and banks.
How long does installation take?
DV certificates usually activate within minutes. OV and EV types may take 1–3 days due to organization verification.
What does SSL protect my site from?
SSL encrypts transmitted data (passwords, card numbers, personal information) and protects it from theft and tampering, which increases visitor trust.
Does SSL affect SEO and trust?
Yes. Google ranks https sites higher, and the padlock icon builds visitor trust — which improves conversion and sales.
How do I renew the certificate?
You renew it with one click in your panel before it expires. We notify you in advance, and your site keeps working without interruption.
What's the difference between free and paid SSL?
Free SSL provides basic encryption and is fine for simple sites. Paid certificates add warranty, organization validation and a level of trust suited to business.
