SSL Security

SSL security with 2048 bit-key encryption to provide peace of mind to your web visitors.

We provide SSL as standard with every new website hosted on our nameservers. SSL certificates provide you and your customers with peace of mind when browsing your website, providing users with a secure https connection and valid security certificate (that little padlock symbol in the corner of your browser!)

Having SSL has become extremely important over the last few years with search engines such as Google penalising website without it, resulting in fewer visitors and a drop in the search results. This means less business and poor website performance.

With Thinkpad Creative managing your website, having SSL on your website has never been so simple. Take a look at what SSL is and why you should be using it…

What is SSL?

A signed 2048-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificate is an essential security measure for websites collecting and storing sensitive customer data. Using industry standard encryption an SSL Certificate guarantees that sensitive data shared between your server and your users browser, is secure and safe.

Not only does an SSL protect you and your customer’s sensitive data, it gives your site an SEO boost and reassures your users of the authenticity of your website, helping you to gain their trust and sell more.

Protect sensitive data

Industry-leading 256-bit encryption keeps sensitive customer data like passwords, usernames and credit card numbers secure.

Increase online sales

The widely recognised secure padlock icon and green address bar displays in a users browser highlighting you are safe to do business with.

SEO ranking boost

Google awards a small ranking boost to all secure HTTPS/SSL sites, making it easier for your users to find you.

Customer assurance

SSL provides your website visitors and customers with assurance that their visit to your website is safe and secure.

SSL Certificates provide security across ALL browsers. In each browser both the secure padlock symbol and the https protocol will be visible to website visitors, providing them with assurance during their visit or purchase.

This feature in internet browsers has become an integral part of internet security, with studies showing many users will choose not to purchase from a website without an SSL certificate. Even informative websites are showing users now prefer to browse a secure website with these security features. The increases your website visitors and reduces the bounce rate (number of people leaving your site) considerably in comparison to websites without SSL.
