SSL Certificates

Why SSL Certificates are Essential to your Business

The primary reason why SSL is used is to keep sensitive information sent across the Internet encrypted so that only the intended recipient can understand it.

This is important because the information you send on the Internet is passed from computer to computer to get to the destination server. We can help you protect your site and ensure it stays protected, giving you more time to focus on your business.

SimoHost strictly protects the security of your personal information and honours your choice for its intended use. We have taken steps to secure and safeguard the information that we collect online, including the use of proven and effective security solutions, including SSL. However, the internet is an open forum and data may flow across multiple networks with inferior or no security measures, and therefore information may possibly be accessed by third parties other than those you intend to access it

Protect Sensitive User Data

The level of security provided by an SSL certificate is determined by the number of bits used to generate the encryption key. That key is then used to encrypt the data. Most of our SSL certificates use either 256-bit or 128-bit encryption, depending on the capabilities of web browser and server. Both 256- and 128-bit are industry standard for data protection.

Increase Customer Trust

SimoHost’s experts have hand-picked our SSL certificate selection to ensure the broadest popular browser compatibility. Our certificates are supported by all the popular browsers, which means that whichever one you use will recognize SimoHost’s SSL verification, keeping the browsing experience hassle-free. Your users will never wonder if the company issuing the certificate is real or whether protection.

SSL Site Seal

The site seal offers visual proof of the security provided by your website’s SSL certificate. It’s so important, in fact, that it’s become the main reason many website owners and managers buy an SSL certificate as most web users know to look for it. Seals vary in appearance depending on the type of SSL certificate issued, but they all mean the same thing: your user’s data is protected.

Which type of SSL certificate is best for your website?

An SSL certificate acts as third-party verification for a website’s security. It verifies the strength of the Secure Socket Layer encryption used when a user connects to the site and connects that encryption to the organization or individual that owns and maintains the website. SSL certification and validation are a necessary piece of web security for any business that collects information from its users.

Different SSL certificates provide different levels of security, depending on the level of protection and security features your website and its users need. You may be familiar with visual elements such as Site Seals, the HTTPS:// protocol appearing in the URL, but there are less-visible functions that help protect your website and visitors.

No matter what level of security you choose, your users will recognize that your site is safe, and that leads to greater trust in your brand online.

Validation is a key feature of SSL certification. Here’s how they differentiate from each other.

As their name implies, Single domain SSL certificates only secure a single unique domain or subdomain. Wildcard SSL certificates let site owners secure multiple subdomains under a single unique domain. Multi-domain SSL certificates allow multiple unique domains and subdomains to be secured with a single certificate.

Comodo, Inc. is the world's #1 trusted SSL certificate provider, offering site owners and managers best-in-class security, trust, and compliance at a great value. We believe our exclusive partnership with Comodo will streamline our customers' experience, allowing us to provide the best website security products on the market with competitive pricing.
