All of our SSL certificates include a warranty to protect your customers from financial loss directly resulting from a misissued certificate. If your customer has a question regarding the validity of your SSL certificate, you can assure them that they are protected.
The amount of warranty included depends on the issuer and type of certificate. All of our certificates include at least a $10,000 warranty. When comparing certificates you should consider the value of the products you sell. Chances are a customer will never have to file a warranty claim with an SSL vendor, but an extra level of customer reassurance never hurts!
You can determine the warranty amount for a particular SSL certificate by viewing the details on our website.
The certificate strength is determined by the length of the key used for encryption during a secure SSL session. The level of encryption used depends on your web browser and the server software used. All of our certificates support up to 256-bit encryption.
What does this mean to you? It simply means that regardless of the certificate you purchase from us, it's guaranteed to support the highest level of encryption currently available in the industry. Our web hosting plans use Apache web servers which also support the highest encryption levels. You should encourage your customers to upgrade their web browser software to ensure they are taking advantage of the most secure encryption available.
Customers will be visiting your website using all sorts of different computer configurations--and many times the web browser may be out of date. Because of this, it's important to know your SSL certificate is compatible with the widest variety of browser software and versions as possible. Regardless of the type of certificate you purchase from us, it's guaranteed to support over 99% of web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Even lesser-known or outdated browsers such as Opera or Netscape are supported!
Since we use only the most trusted SSL vendors, you can rest assured that your certificate will always be supported by modern web browsers.
The process of purchasing and installing an SSL certificate for your website can be very involved, especially with Extended Validation certificates. This is why we walk you through each and every step, and handle the complicated key generation and installation for you!
If you have a Hands-On Web Hosting account, you need only provide us with details on your business, and we will generate the necessary Private Key and Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for you. If any business documentation is required for your certificate, we will tell you exactly what is acceptable and will provide it to the SSL issuer. We will work with the SSL issuer on your behalf to resolve any issues that may arise. Once the certificate is ready, we'll install it on your hosting account free of charge!
Even if you don't host with us, or purchase your SSL certificate elsewhere, we can still help. Contact our support team for details!
Having an SSL certificate on your website helps boost customer confidence and increase sales. However, it's important that your certificate is issued by a trusted vendor to ensure the highest level of browser compatibility and recognition. Having a certificate issued by an unknown vendor is almost as bad as not having one at all!
All of our certificates are issued by the best names in the industry, including Comodo, GeoTrust and RapidSSL. Your certificate also includes a site seal with the vendor logo to assure your customers they are protected.
All modern web browsers will display a padlock icon or other graphic to show your customers their session is secure. However, this is normally not visible on all pages of your website. Customers often look for assurance that their information is protected before they even begin the order process. That's why all of our SSL certificates include a site seal displaying the SSL issuer's logo. Many certificates also feature a dynamic seal which not only indicates the SSL vendor, but also your business contact information and certificate validity period!
Generally certificates with more involved verification processes such as Organization or Extended Validation will include dynamic site seals. While a static site seal will show your customers you have a secure checkout, having additional details on your business and certificate displayed by the SSL benefit can be valuable to increasing customer confidence.
When operating an online store, it's important to know your hosting environment is secure and meets all merchant bank requirements. That's why we ensure that every server in our network is Payment Card Industry (PCI) Standards compliant. Many payment processors and merchant banks demand PCI compliance before services are provided. As part of this process, essential server software components are checked and updated continuously to the latest available versions. We can also assist with any issues that may arise from a PCI compliance scan.
If your payment processor doesn't provide PCI compliance scanning for your online store, we have you covered. We've partnered with McAfee Secure to provide scanning services at a discounted rate, even if you don't host with us!
