What Does SSL Stand for?

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a technology that protects your online storefront or sign-on page. The Secure Sockets Layer certificates, also known as digital certificates, encrypt the sensitive data requested from site visitors such as place of residence, date of birth, national identification number, driver's licence or credit card information, so that no one could use this info for unlawful purposes.

Your website guests can recognize a protected website by the ‘https' part at the beginning of the web site address, or by the lock icon in the web browser window, or by a special seal on the site.

The certificates feature two hundred and fifty six-bit encryption, and include a $10 000 US dollar warranty and a static site seal for your website. You are required to get a static IP address.
