How do I install my SSL certificate?
When your SSL certificate is issued, we send an email to let you know. What happens next depends on where your site is hosted and the options you chose when you bought the certificate.
If you have Web Hosting, Website Development, or Managed SSL with us, we will take care of everything for you. If you host your website with another company or use our VPS or Dedicated Servers, contact our support to get you set up.
What is an SSL certificate?
SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. It might sound complex, but it's really not. SSL certificates validate your website's identity and encrypt the information visitors send to, or receive from, your site. This keeps thieves from spying on exchanges between you and your shoppers.
When you have an SSL certificate protecting your website, your customers can rest assured that the information they enter on any secured page is private and can't be viewed by cyber crooks. TIBINT makes it easy to install your certificate and secure your server.
What are the benefits of having an SSL certificate on my website?
TIBINT SSL Certificates inspire trust and show visitors that you value their privacy. An SSL certificate protects your customers' sensitive information such as their name, address, password, or credit card number by encrypting the data during transmission from their computer to your web server. SSL is the standard for web security, and a server certificate is required by most merchant account services – you'll need one if you plan to accept credit cards on your website.
How will people know my website is safe?
How you build your website is entirely up to you. In fact, most basic secure websites can be hand-coded using HTML.
When a visitor enters an SSL-protected page on your website, their browser bar displays a padlock icon and the https:// prefix in the URL address. Most Internet users know to look for those SSL indicators.
