SSL Certificates
SSL certificates are vital for protecting information sent between your website and your visitor’s browser by encrypting the data. Are you collecting sensitive information such as Social Security Numbers or credit card numbers? You need to protect that information as it is being sent to you – otherwise, you run the risk of exposing that information to hackers. Below are several SSL Certificate options available to you.
Extended Validation SSL Certificates
Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates are intended to give website visitors and potential customers more confidence that you are a legitimate company and website. Having an Extended Validation SSL Certificate assures your visitors that you are who you say you are, and not some impostor or spoofed website. The primary distinction with EV SSL Certificates is the prominent display of a green address bar in browsers to show visitors that their transactions are safe. As you can see, Loud Sky Hosting has an EV SSL certificate. If you wish to obtain an Extended Validation SSL Certificate for your website, you will need to go through the process of validating domain ownership, and organization information included in the certificate (name, city, state, country) before it can be issued to you.
