From account pages to shopping cart checkout, our SSL Certificates let your customers know their private data is protected and your website is trustworthy.
Have you ever noticed the lock icon in the top left corner of a website next to the URL? That little lock means that the website has a secure connection and an SSL certificate. Customers recognize that little lock icon and are more likely to share their information with you knowing that it's safe and secure.
In addition to keeping your customers' data safe, your own business data is protected, as well. See what else SSL website security can do for you.
There are many different types of SSL certificates to accomodate different small business website security needs.

An SSL Certificate is the electronic counterpart to a passport or a driver’s license. It is a digital certificate you install on the server that hosts your website. SSL Certificates have two primary functions:
In today’s environment, online customers are more wary than ever of internet fraud, identity theft and “phishing” schemes. Installing the proper security and validation for your site is essential to gaining your customers’ trust, and for letting potential customers know your site is a secure place where they can exchange confidential information, purchase products and services, and complete secure transactions.
When you have an SSL Certificate installed on your server, your site will display three instantly recognizable symbols that let customers know your site is secure:
Essential: Recommended for personal websites, blogs or forums that need basic encryption and have no transactions.
Premium: Recommended for eCommerce websites with ~50-250 transactions per month, as well as medium sized businesses.
WildCard: Recommended for customers who require encryption on a subdomain. A subdomain is part of a root domain and is typically separated by a “.” in the URL.
Extended Validation: Recommended for businesses that require the highest level of website security, only certain businesses qualify.
Validation is the process of having your domain and business or individual identity authenticated by a Certificate Authority. It’s similar to a driver’s license, or any official document that provides you with proof of your identity and credentials. Once your Certificate is installed on your server, customers can view your authenticated information by clicking on the padlock symbol in the browser or on the HostClouder.com Site Seal – this will automatically display your qualifications to the public, similar to how professionals hang framed copies of licenses, degrees and other credentialing documents on their office walls.
The following are approximate processing times for validation and issuance of SSL Certificates:
Essential SSL Certificate (Domain ownership validation): In most cases instant validation.
Premium SSL Certificate (Domain and Business and/or individual validation): 1 business day. Validation times can vary depending on the documents you provided.
Extended Validation SSL Certificate: 4-5 business days. Validation times largely depend on the documentation provided by the customer.
Extended Validation is the highest level of validation any business can receive. The EV application is more extensive than other certificates. For this reason it has a slightly longer validation time. The following types of entities may qualify for Extended Validation:
A subdomain is part of a root domain and is typically separated by a “.” in the URL. Subdomains allows website owners to create new areas of their website for users, separate from their main website. For example, eCommerce websites could create a subdomain for the checkout area of their website. The subdomain might look something like: checkout.yourwebsite.com. By putting the checkout section of a website on a subdomain, website owners could buy a separate SSL certificate with added security for that section only. If you have multiple subdomains, buy an SSL certificate that accomodates your situation.
Encryption changes data into a form that can only be read by the intended receiver.
It used to be that only eCommerce sites or websites that manage the exchange of sensitive, private information regulated by laws such as HIPAA or FERPA used data encryption security. Today, prominent browsers and search engines that want to ensure they refer their customers—searchers—to trusted sites have begun placing alerts and warnings on unsecured http-only websites. With hacking and large-scale data breaches on the rise, it is best practice for any website that interacts with customer data to be protected via an SSL Certificate.
HostClouder uses 256-Bit encryption, which refers to the size of the decryption key used to unscramble encrypted data. 256-Bit encryption is considered computationally infeasible to crack and is known as a very strong SSL security.
