Why it matters

SSL isn't optional anymore

Google flags sites without SSL as "Not Secure." Here's what you gain by securing your site.

🔒
Encrypts sensitive data
SSL encrypts data between your visitor's browser and your server — protecting passwords, card details, and personal information from interception.
📈
Boosts Google rankings
Google uses HTTPS as a ranking signal. Sites with SSL rank higher in search results — giving your business a free SEO advantage.
✅
Builds visitor trust
The padlock in the address bar tells visitors your site is safe. Secured sites see higher engagement, lower bounce rates, and more conversions.
🚫
Avoids "Not Secure" warnings
Chrome and other browsers actively warn users away from sites without SSL. Without one, you risk losing visitors before they even see your content.

Frequently asked questions

Do all hosting plans include a free SSL? +
Yes — all web hosting plans include a free DV SSL certificate. If you need higher validation (OV or EV) for e-commerce or business purposes, you can purchase an upgraded SSL separately.
What is the difference between DV, OV, and EV SSL? +
DV confirms domain ownership and is issued in minutes. OV also verifies your business identity and takes 1–3 days. EV provides the highest level of trust with full business vetting — ideal for e-commerce and financial sites.
Does my site need Website Security if I already have SSL? +
SSL encrypts data in transit but doesn't protect against malware or hacking. Website Security adds active protection including malware scanning, removal, and a firewall — a different and complementary layer of defence.
How often are website backups taken? +
Website Backup runs automatic daily backups of your entire site. You can restore any backup with a single click, with up to 30 days of history available at any time.
