GeoTrust SSL Certificates
What is an SSL Certificate?
SSL Certificates are integrated in most web browsers and servers, and use key encryption to protect your data.
SSL Certificated put the padlock in the address bar of many browsers, which users see, and it reassures them that the site is secure to enter payment information. The SSL often helps sales, as users can be put off if they don’t see a padlock and don’t want to hand over their information. Once you install an SSL, the padlock will be boosting your sales by reassuring your customers that you’re safe!
Which SSL Certificate do you need?
At EtherClear, our range of SSL Certificates from GlobalSign is wide, to go with your UK managed VPS, your UK eCommerce hosting, or your online store on your UK dedicated server.
The RapidSSL certificate is the least expensive SSL certificate, which should be enough for most websites. It provides a static banner that you put on your website to show that it is secure.
The QuickSSL Premium is more expensive, but has more features. The banner that it comes with contains your company name and a timestamp, which is even more reassuring to users.
The TrueBusiness ID with EV certificate puts the well known ‘Green Bar’ on your domain. This makes the address bar in most browsers turn green, and is even more obvious when it comes to showing off security. The installation of this certificate requires you to send ID and documents from your company before GlobalSign will issue the certificate.
