SSL Certificates on Website - Volta Creative

SSL Certificate On Your Website

in Website Design

You may have noticed that over recent years, Google has been stressing how important security is!

 

Google are now suggesting you add a SSL certificate to your website for your visitors to have a much safer experience while surfing your website. To try and enforce this, they have now began to penalise sites without SSLs more harshly by labelling them as insecure. This occurs when users are browsing the net via Chrome, Safari and now Firefox. A warning will appear in the address bar of certain sites that do not have a SSL certificate.

 

So what is a SSL?

SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer and it acts as a layer of security between the server that a website is on and your browser. The layer will encrypt all data passed between the two, ensuring that any information on the site is kept secure. Sites without SSLs don’t have this encryption and any hackers that manage to get into the connections between the website server and the browser may have access to sensitive information; having a SSL to encrypt the data ensures that even if hackers did target your website, they would also have to decrypt the data first before having access to any information.

 

Currently only websites that have password fields and card payment forms are affected but in the very near future Google will further crack down and penalise all non-SSL websites.

 

As an incentive to websites owners to get SSL, in addition to labelling sites without SSLs as insecure, Google are also giving websites with SSLs a boost in search engine rankings.

 

To have SSL on your website, you have to have an SSL certificate. The SSL certificate contains information like domain name, company name, address, country, certificate’s expiration date, and details about the Certificate Authority (the issuer of the certificate). A result of the new changes could be that users are put off by sites that are marked as ‘Not Secure’. To ensure that your website shows up as a secure and encrypted site, you will eventually need to purchase a SSL.

 

Adding a suitable SSL isn’t cheap (though we are hoping longer term prices will reduce) and unfortunately, just like hosting, they do need renewing every year.

 

In most cases we will need to take care of this for you as some of the low cost general certificates available on line won’t work with our reseller accounts as they are shared hosting environments.

Happy Monday Volta fans! On this dull, rainy day Happy Monday Volta fans!

On this dull, rainy day we wanted to show you our latest project for our friends at @stlukessheff, surely this will brighten up your timelines 💕

St Luke’s approached us about designing their ‘Who we are, what we do and how you can help’ information booklet and we were over the moon.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀?
It’s vibrant, very in-keeping with the St Luke’s brand, and we think it looks great!

A big thank you to St Luke’s for trusting us with their project, and we hope to work with them again in the future.
