SSL Certificates

Our SSL certificates are one of the quickest ways to start protecting online applications and transactions with SSL. With an easy authentication and issuance process, it can take just minutes to get a certificate. With our GeoTrust certificates, you get inexpensive authentication without sacrificing reliability, choice, or convenience.

If you are an existing Webhero customer and would like to upgrade to a dedicated SSL certificate, simply log in to the Control Panel to upgrade. On the Account tab, select Upgrade Services. The SSL certificate options will be listed as the Secure Certificate option and will let you select which one you would like to have installed.

SSL is an abbreviation for Secure Sockets Layer. SSL encrypts information when it travels between computers and web hosting servers. SSL ensures that sensitive information like credit card and social security numbers cannot be captured as it moves across the web. You can usually tell if a transaction will be secure because the address typically begins with https://.

SSL certificates verify identities and ensure that your customers are secure when completing online transactions. If your website does not have a secure SSL certificate, your customers will receive a warning message that their sensitive information is being passed in a non-secure manner.

If you currently own or are purchasing a new QuickSSL or True BusinessID certificate, you can add a security seal to your site to confirm it's authenticity. For instructions on how to do this, please see the support article Adding a GeoTrust Seal.

We offer FREE shared SSL certificates for each of our paid hosting accounts. You will need to know the IP address of your server to use our shared SSL certificate. If you need assistance in locating the IP address your site is hosted on, please don't hesitate to contact us. Normally, your user name at the end of this address will be your domain name.
