Digital Certificates

A Digital Certificate gives your customers the assurance that your web site is legitimately yours and not that of an impostor.

If your website has a login or a form to collect information such as a contact form, your website needs a Digital Certificate to protect the privacy of your website visitors, their login and password and the information they submit. The padlock in the web browser address bar gives visitors confidence that their information is protected.

A Digital Certificate contains information about who owns the certificate (company name, domain name, contact address, etc) as well as information about the issuing Certificate Authority.

When installed on a web server, it activates the padlock and the https protocol and allows secure connections from a web server to a web browser.

Digital Certificates provide you with a legal basis to perform transactions on the Internet.

What is SSL?

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private.

Alpha SSL Wildcard

  • Rapid Provisioning
  • Secures an unlimited number of subdomains.

It’s a great solution for anyone who hosts or manages multiple sites or pages that exist on the same domain. The one-time cost of the certificate covers you for additional subdomains you may add in the future.

Unlike a standard SSL Certificate that is issued to a single Fully Qualified Domain Name only, e.g. www.yourdomain.com, a Wildcard SSL Certificate is issued to *.yourdomain.com, where the asterisk represents all possible subdomains.
