HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR WEBSITE IS AFFECTED?
Here are two easy questions to determine if your website needs HTTPS and will display the 'Not Secure Warning' if an SSL certificate is not installed:
- Does your website show HTTP:// in the browser address bar on any of the pages?
- Does your website use contact forms, shopping cart, customer/partner login pages, etc?
If the answer is yes to either of these questions then it's time to install an SSL certificate on your website and avoid showing the 'NOT SECURE' warning in the browser.
Increased Google Rankings
Over 40% of the sites on the first page of Google are HTTPS, which is not a surprise, since Google has confirmed that they favour HTTPS sites.
Increased Customer Confidence
A secure connection gives your customers peace of mind that your website can be trusted and their information is safe.
Updated Browser Labels
Google is also updating their labelling for HTTP sites in Chrome’s URL bar.
Increased Conversions
Customers understand that they want a site to be HTTPS if they are providing personal information.
What Is SSL?
Encryption, Validation, Trust
An SSL Certificate is a special file on your web server that enables encrypted security for online communications. SSL creates an encrypted connection between your web server and your visitors’ web browser allowing for private information (example: credit card details) to be transmitted without the problems of eavesdropping, data tampering, or message forgery.
To enable SSL certificate for a website, one will need to get an SSL Certificate that identifies him/her/the business and install it on the server. If you’ve ever bought anything online, you would’ve probably used SSL without realizing it. The use of a SSL Certificate on a website is usually indicated by a padlock icon on web browsers but it can also be indicated by a green address bar.
Why You Need SSL Certificate?
- To Prevent Your Customers’ Sensitive Data Such As Credit Card Numbers And Passwords From Being Intercepted By A Third Party.
- To Help Visitors To Identify Your Website As Legitimate And Increase Visitor Trust.
- Make Potential Customers Feel Safe And Confident To Perform Online Transactions Or Do Business With You.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SSL Certificate?
SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. It might sound complex, but it’s really not. SSL Certificates validate your website’s identity, and encrypt the information visitors send to, or receive from, your site. This keeps thieves from spying on any exchange between you and your shoppers.
When you have an SSL Certificate protecting your website, your customers can rest assured that the information they enter on any secured page is private and can’t be viewed by cyber criminals. SSL Cert Guru help secure your website by installing a certificate and securing your server.
How do I install my SSL Certificate?

All we require from you is temporary access to your hosting account in order to install the certificate. You would normally have login details sent to you by the company you host your website with.
What hosting services are supported in order to add the SSL Certificate?

What are the benefits of having an SSL Certificate on my website?
SSL Certificates inspire trust and show visitors that you value their privacy. An SSL Cert protects your customers’ sensitive information such as their name, address, password, or credit card number by encrypting the data during transmission from their computer to your web server. SSL is the standard for web security, and a Server Certificate is required by most merchant account services – you’ll need one if you plan to accept credit cards on your website.
Google also encourages users to use an SSL certificate on their sites. In fact, since 2014, SSL has been a factor in your website ranking.
How will people know my website is safe?
When a visitor enters an SSL-protected page on your website, their browser bar displays a padlock icon and the https:// prefix in the URL address. While most Internet users know to look for those SSL indicators, you can also add a site seal to your website to show visitors your site is verified and secured. Visitors can click the seal to view your certificate’s status and details, seeing for themselves that it’s safe to send sensitive information to your website. Websites protected by EV SSL display a green browser bar as well, giving users the green light.
How long does the SSL Certificate last for?
Certificates are a yearly cost that have to be renewed every year. When you sign up, we setup a recurring yearly payment to make sure your certificate is renewed and working on your website every year when it expires.
Which SSL do I need?
Unless you sell things on your website, a Standard SSL (DV) is fine. This is also true for informational business sites. eCommerce websites should use a single-domain Standard SSL (DV) or Premium SSL (EV). When you order we will check if you require a DV or EV certificate and will inform you of the extra cost before proceeding
How long will I have to wait for my SSL certificate to be installed?
We usually complete the job within 24 hours of receiving access to your server
