An SSL Certificate is a cryptographic key protecting and demonstrating the security of website users' data.
An SSL certificate is a digital signature of the website that guarantees a secure connection between the server and the user's browser. It provides reliable data protection: the data is encrypted and transmitted via the https protocol and can be decrypted only by using a special key known exclusively to the certificate owner.
The certificate confirms authenticity of the website and encrypts data transfer, ensuring its safety and protecting it from interception.
The owner of a website storing any amount of user information must ensure its safety. An SSL certificate can provide your resource with a necessary level of protection.
Websites with https have better search engine rankings compared to their non-SSL counterparts.
As of 2017, Firefox and Chrome grant ‘secure’ status only to websites with installed SSL certificates.
SSL certificates differ in level of verification of the applicant's data before its release and in the number of domains and subdomains for which they can be used.
Certificates are typically issued for one domain (sometimes with or without www). Certificates that allow you to protect multiple domains belong to the SAN category. One such certificate will cost less than multiple standard certificates, which makes it a suitable solution for companies with multiple websites. Wildcard certificates are used to protect an unlimited number of subdomains.
