Why do I need an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate is useful for three reasons:
a. Encryption of 'sensitive' information such as credit card information and user personal information.
b. You are trustworthy! Visitors would buy more easily from a site that has a certificate.
c. Google has announced that it will give a small boost to the ranking of ssl certified sites.
Domain validation, Organization validation, Extended validation: What is the difference?
Domain validation: Suitable for small sites. It does not need documents to be issued, it is validated via email and it is issued automatically. Users will understand that you have it by looking at the address bar a small lock or https instead of http, depending on the browser.
Organization validation: Users will more easily share their financial information with you, so your sales will increase. You will need to send company documents for validation so the process can take up to four days. The visitor will see https in the address bar, will see the lock in some browsers and by clicking on the lock will also see the details of your company.
Extended validation: High information security, high protection. It is certified that the domain name is directly connected to your company while protecting the user from phishing attacks. It takes corporate documents and several days to issue. The user will of course see https, lock, green bar in the address bar.
