SSL Certificate refers to a special file on your web server that allows encrypted security for online communications. SSL offers extra layers of security by creating an encrypted connection between your visitor’s web browser and your web server for a safer transmission of private information (such as for debit card and credit card details) without security issues such as data tampering, message forgery or eavesdropping.

You need to get an SSL Certificate to enable SSL certificate for your website that identifies your business and install it on the server. You might have encountered a website with SSL without realizing it especially if you’ve bought anything through online medium. A website that utilizes SSL Certificate usually can be signified by a padlock icon on the web browsers, but it could also be indicated by a green address bar.
