What does an SSL do? In simple terms it:

  1. Encrypts data between your website and your customers. Securing both their visit and any information submitted.
  2. Protects your login username and password when you edit your website.
  3. Provides authentication that the site your visitors see is yours and not a fake site.
  4. Trust that your site is not accidentally passing data to a hacker or spammer.
  5. Can increase your Search Engine Ranking (see link to more about SSL’s below). Without it you are likely not to even come up in most Search Engine Listings.
