Why do I need one?

Ever wondered why some websites begin with http:// and others with https://? The “s” stands for “secure,” and it indicates that the site you’re browsing is using a protected, encrypted connection — something visitors often see as a padlock icon next to the URL.

If you are collecting sensitive information or providing customer accounts via your website then you will need an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificate.

FAQs

Why do I need an SSL Certificate?

If you are collecting sensitive information or providing customer accounts via your website then you will need an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificate. These digital certificates give your customers peace of mind and serve as the backbone of internet security. They authenticate the identity of your website linking your domain name, company name and location with a unique cryptographic key.

What do I need to have before I purchase an SSL Certificate?

To order your SSL Certificate, you must be able to provide a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for your website or web server. This means that your website must already be set up on your server. If your website or server is hosted elsewhere, please contact your host to obtain a CSR, or you may be able to generate a CSR from your website or server control panel.

Your website must have a dedicated IP Address. It can still be hosted on a shared server with other websites, but it must have its own unique IP address.

Extended Validation Certificates issued to individuals require identification from that individual in the form of a valid government issued photo ID (Driver’s Licence or Passport) and a utility bill or bank statement.

Extended Validation Certificates issued to a business or corporate body require the Certificate of Incorporation for the company or corporate body. This will be verified with the Companies Office.

What is a CSR?

A CSR is a “Certificate Signing Request” and is used to create an SSL certificate. It contains a block of encrypted text that is generated on the server that the SSL Certificate will be used on. This contains information that will be included in your certificate such as your company name, common name, city and country. It also contains the public key matching the private key on the hosting server which needs to be part of the issued SSL certificate.
