Why HTTPS isn't optional
Since 2014 Google has used HTTPS as a ranking factor. Since 2018 Chrome marks HTTP sites as 'Not Secure'.
Visitor trust
84% of users abandon a purchase on an HTTP site. The padlock in the address bar is a visual signal of legitimacy.
SEO ranking factor
Google has officially used HTTPS as a ranking signal since 2014. HTTP sites get deprioritized in search results.
PCI compliance
Accepting cards requires PCI DSS compliance. An SSL certificate is the minimum requirement — without it, you can't accept payments.
Browser warnings
Chrome, Firefox, and Safari show 'Not Secure' on HTTP sites. Result: 60%+ visitor bounce.

When is Let's Encrypt enough, and when isn't it?
Let's Encrypt (free DV) is perfect for blogs, portfolios, personal sites, and MVPs. For sites accepting payments, business image, or regulatory requirements — OV or EV is recommended.
What's a wildcard certificate?
Certificate for *.yourdomain.com — covers all subdomains under one cert. Useful if you have blog.yoursite.com, shop.yoursite.com, app.yoursite.com, etc.
How long does installation take?
Let's Encrypt — automatic, instant. Paid DV — 15 minutes after validation. OV — 1-3 business days. EV — 5-10 business days (legal checks).
What's the SSL 'warranty'?
Financial compensation from the Certificate Authority in case of mis-issuance leading to buyer loss. Largely a marketing claim — rarely used in practice, but standard spec.
What happens when a certificate expires?
Browsers show a 'Connection not private' warning. The site becomes inaccessible for most users. Auto-renewal on all our plans prevents this.
Can I move a certificate from another host?
Yes, if you have the private key + certificate (as .pem or .crt + .key files). We install them in cPanel or Apache config. Free install help.
