SSL Certificates

For those of you who're wondering; SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is an industry standard security technology used to establish an encrypted connection between the visitor and web server. The general purpose behind this is to ensure that all 'private' data be encrypted and thus hidden from any prying eyes.

In order for an SSL connection to be established an SSL certificate is required on the web servers behalf. The certificate is used to outline a series of information indicating general purpose queries about an organisation such as name, address, and so on. Once this has been completed two cryptographic keys are created; these being a private key which is stored and a public key which is randomly generated during the CSR (Certificate Signing Request.)

We currently offer two of the most recognised brands of SSL certificates in order to mark out a clear price range which is aimed at everyone's budget and needs. The two SSL companies that we currently do business with are Comodo and GeoTrust, further explanations as to the packages we have to offer are located below:

Through pure perseverance and numerous sales, we have managed to negotiate very low pricing which we recommend you take a look at using the above links - please compare the differences.

The reason for having to purchase SSL certificates is that renowned organisations are used to authorise the details on certificates and thus indicate whether a site be secure or not. From this point, here is where many of us identify the commonly seen green URL bar. This indicates when a secure connection has been made.
