Protecting website visitors is of huge importance. If your website requires users to enter personal or sensitive information an SSL Certificate is vital. SSL protects your users' details while reassuring them that you take web security seriously, which in turn means they'll be more likely to return to your site in the future.
Most browsers will now flag sites without an SSL certificate as Not Secure. If people see browser warnings or notice you don't have suitable security in place, your online standing could suffer badly. Ask yourself whether you'd do business with an online retailer if you felt that your personal data was at risk.
SSL can also help you to rank higher in search engines such as Google. With an increasing emphasis on websites to provide quality content but also present safe and secure platforms for people, an SSL Certificate can be an easy way to boost your rankings.
SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, and is the protocol used to establish the secure and encrypted communication of data between a server and a client.
An SSL Certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity and enables an encrypted connection between a website and your web browser, allowing all information to be transferred safely and securely.
When a visitor accesses your site, the web server will automatically send the visitor's browser a copy of the secure certificate and a unique encryption-key. All data for that session is then sent in an encrypted format that can only be read by the visitor's browser and the web server; keeping it safe from anyone else who attempts to intercept the data.
To use an SSL Certificate, all you need is a domain name pointing to a server or web hosting package. All our SSL Certificates can be used with any of Freeola's hosting services such as VIP Hosting and RQS Website Builder but can also be used with other hosts that support third-party SSL Certificates. You will also need an email address to receive communications from your SSL provider.
If you are a Freeola hosting customer, we have automated the process as much as possible, our VIP + , WP and MySQL hosting packages include Free SSL. Take a look at our Changing from HTTP to HTTPS guide for a more detailed explanation of how to complete the process.
99% of all browsers for PC, Mac and Mobile support the use of SSL Certificates. Below are just some of the web browsers that support secure web hosting though our SSL certificates.
We only supply SSL Certificates developed by trusted and renowned security experts. Our various SSL Certificates are supplied by industry leaders Sectigo (formerly Comodo) and RapidSSL.

We sell two different types of SSL Certificate - Single Domain SSL Certificates and Wildcard SSL Certificates.
Single domain certificates are used to secure one domain name (OR one sub-domain). If used to secure one domain name the certificate will also automatically support the www. variation. For example a certificate registered for example.com will also cover www.example.com.
These certificates allow for a domain and all sub-domains to be protected with a single certificate. For example, you could register a wildcard certificate for *.freeola.com and that certificate would work for freeola.com, mail.freeola.com, ftp.freeola.com and any other sub-domain.
Historically, SSL Certificates and SEO were not related, however, in 2014, Google announced that it would begin using SSL as a signal in their search engine ranking algorithm. Then, in 2017, Google went a step further and started marking all websites without SSL as 'Unsecure'.
This means as well as being a good indicator of a trusted and secure website, SSL also adds to your search engine rank, so if you ranked equally in Google with another website without SSL, then switching to SSL (or ‘HTTP over SSL') could give you the edge over your competition.
