What is an SSL Certificate? An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate, also known as a Digital Certificate, encrypts the connection between your website and your visitors' browsers. When active, your website address will start with HTTPS instead of HTTP, and a padlock icon will appear in the browser address bar to show the site is secure.
Note: SSL certificates are now installed automatically by the server and do not require any action from the user. However, if for any reason the certificate is not installed, follow the instructions below to complete the installation.
