Why SSL Matters

SSL protects your visitors and your rankings.

An SSL certificate encrypts the connection between your website and your visitors โ€” protecting sensitive data, building trust, and improving your Google search rankings.

๐Ÿ”’

Data Encryption

All data transferred between your site and visitors is encrypted with 256-bit TLS encryption โ€” preventing interception.

โœ…

Browser Trust

The padlock icon and "https://" in the address bar tell visitors your site is secure and verified.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

SEO Rankings

Google prioritises HTTPS websites in search results. An SSL certificate is a confirmed ranking signal.

๐Ÿ’ณ

E-commerce Ready

SSL is required for any site that accepts payments. PCI-DSS compliance mandates HTTPS for all checkout pages.

FAQ

SSL Certificate Questions

Yes โ€” every ScyHost hosting plan includes a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. It is automatically installed and renewed throughout your hosting subscription at no additional cost.
DV (Domain Validated) certificates verify that you control the domain. They are suitable for most websites. OV (Organisation Validated) certificates also verify your business identity. EV (Extended Validation) certificates require the most thorough identity verification and are used by banks and financial institutions.
A wildcard SSL certificate covers your primary domain and all its subdomains with a single certificate. For example, *.yourdomain.com would cover shop.yourdomain.com, mail.yourdomain.com, blog.yourdomain.com, and so on.
For ScyHost hosting accounts, SSL is installed automatically within seconds of account creation. For standalone SSL certificate purchases, installation typically takes a few minutes once the domain control validation is complete.
Yes โ€” all Let's Encrypt certificates on ScyHost are renewed automatically 30 days before they expire. You will never need to take any action unless something changes with your domain configuration.
Yes โ€” SSL is important for every website, regardless of whether you process payments. Google uses HTTPS as a ranking signal, browsers display "Not Secure" warnings on non-HTTPS sites, and user data (including contact form submissions) should always be encrypted in transit.
