How SSL Certificates Work

Choose a Premium Plan that Works Best for you

Upon successfully obtaining or purchasing an SSL certificate, websites are furnished with both a public and private key. When users navigate to the website, their browser requests the SSL certificate and public key to authenticate its trustworthiness.

Data Encryption

Upon successful verification, the browser generates two symmetric keys and transmits one to the web server utilizing the public key. Upon receipt, the server decrypts the key using its private key. With both sides now possessing identical keys, a secure connection is established between the browser and server, facilitating the secure transfer of information.

Visual Indicators

A website with a successful SSL installation will have multiple indicators on the address bar – a padlock icon and an HTTPS prefix on the website’s URL. Depending on the type of certificate, site owners can also display a site seal to increase trustworthiness.

FAQs

SSL Certificates Related

What is SSL?

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security) serves as a security protocol facilitating encrypted communication between a website and a web browser. This ensures that data exchanged between the site and its visitors remains confidential, thwarting unauthorized access. SSL certificates, bestowed by a certificate authority (CA) upon a website, validate its identity, thereby assuring browsers of its security. This authentication mechanism instills confidence in visitors, affirming the website’s secure nature.

Why do I need an SSL certificate?

In addition to the security benefits, SSL certificates improve brand trust and SEO rankings. That’s because they signal good website security measures that users and search engines expect.

Does my website have an SSL certificate?

To see if your website has an SSL certificate, check if the browser’s address bar displays a padlock icon and https:// before your domain name.

What are the different types of SSL certificates?

here are three types of SSL/TLS certificates according to their validation level.

For domain-validated certificates (DV), the certificate authority (CA) will only ask you to verify the domain ownership via email, phone, or DNS record.

Organization-validated certificates (OV) have a medium level of validation, so the CA usually checks documentation that verifies the organization’s name, contact information, and legal status.

Finally, the extended validation certificates (EV) offer the highest level of validation, with the CA conducting extensive background checks to verify the registrant’s location, legal status, and order details.

We can also differentiate SSL certificates based on the number of websites they can protect. Single-domain certificates protect one domain and its subdirectories, wildcard certificates cover a domain and its multiple subdomains, and multi-domain certificates secure multiple domains unrelated to each other.

Which SSL certificate to choose?

All types of SSL/TLS protection provide the same encryption level. However, some websites may need certificates with higher levels of validation to offer better proof of legitimacy or to secure multiple domains at once.

How do I get a free SSL certificate?

At GiddyHost, you don’t need to do it manually, as we offer an automatic renewal feature.

Does SSL help with SEO?

Yes, it does. Website security is an important ranking factor for Google.

Your website has a much higher chance of appearing at the top of the search results if it has an SSL certificate securing it.
