Does your Business need SSL?

The short answer is yes. Absolutely yes. But let’s break it down.

What is SSL? 

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer and basically it ensures that all data passed between the web server and browser remains private. If a website does not have SSL certification, then hackers can easily capture your information. This isn’t something that just happens in movies, it’s very real.

Online security is important for all users, especially for online shoppers. Users will not want to continue browsing on a site that is not secure. So not only will your lose sales, your business will also lose credibility.
