Why having an SSL certificate matters to your business…
As a website owner, you don’t want anything getting in the way of visitors (in other words ‘paying customers’) reaching your site do you? But that’s just what Google’s new version of Chrome will do when Chrome 68 is launched at the beginning of July…
Why, and how, will Google Chrome stop visitors getting to my website, you ask? Well, the search giant has decided if your website doesn’t have an SSL certificate in place, it’s going to show an unfriendly ‘not secure’ label in the address bar next to your domain name. Previously, Google was only targeting sites without an SSL that collected data, but it’s upped the ante to include ALL websites now.
Rest assured Google has good intentions for taking this action – it wants to ensure its users can only reach secure websites from its search rankings.
Obviously, you don’t want the warning being shown to your customers so let’s get an SSL certificate added to your site without delay. We’ll do the work so it’s very low effort for you.
An SSL from Register365 is not expensive. In fact our Quick SSL costs less than €6 per month. The SSL certificate will encrypt all data transferred through your website so hackers can’t intercept it. It’ll also mean that you’ll see ‘https’ in the address bar, rather than ‘http’ (the ‘s’ stands for secure).
It makes an awful lot of sense to get an SSL on your site, but, if you need another reason, here it is: there’s been suggestion in discussion groups that your site will be ranked lower by Google if it doesn’t have an SSL. So, a double whammy of reasons to give us a bell and get us to add an SSL certificate to your site!
SSL certificate – an absolute MUST as of July 2018. Don’t hold your business back.
