SSL Certificate Comparison Chart

Bookmark this page Print this page
SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer which is a protocol that allows data to be transmitted securely over the Internet. In order to use the SSL protocol, a web site will need an SSL Certificate. Various different levels of verification are required depending on the SSL Certificate applied for with stronger certificates such as an Extended Validation certificate requiring more checks in order to verify the site and organisation they are issued to.

Once a certificate has been installed, it is possible to connect to the website over https://www.domain.com. The "https" prefix instructs the server to establish a secure connection with a visitor's browser. Once the connection is established all web traffic between the web server and the visitors web browser will be encrypted. Therefore making it extremely difficult for someone to intercept and decipher transmitted details. SSL certificates are ideal when your web pages are required to collect sensitive information such as usernames and passwords or bank card details etc.
