WEBSITE SECURITY
SSL enables encrypted HTTPS connections between a visitor browser and the website server. It is an essential part of a professional website, but it is not a complete security strategy by itself.
What HTTPS protects
HTTPS encrypts information travelling between the visitor and website server. This helps prevent that traffic from being read in plain text while it is in transit.
What SSL does not protect
An SSL certificate does not automatically protect a website from weak passwords, outdated plugins, insecure code or compromised administrator accounts.
Website security also depends on updates, access control, backups and sensible administration.
Do business websites need HTTPS?
Yes. Modern professional websites should use HTTPS, particularly when visitors submit forms, sign in or exchange information with the site.

Frequently asked questions
Does the padlock mean a website is trustworthy?
The HTTPS indicator shows that the connection is encrypted. It does not independently prove that every statement or business behind the website is trustworthy.
Do I need to buy an expensive SSL certificate?
That depends on the use case. Many ordinary websites can use the SSL included with eligible hosting.
