WHY YOU SHOULD INSTALL SSL CERTIFICATE TO YOUR WEBSITE

Why should I install SSL certificate? SSL certificates allow web browsers to verify that they are connecting to a legitimate website (i.e., not a man-in-the-middle attack).In other words, when using an SSL-protected website, only you and the server on the other side can read the information you access and the data you submit (such as your details, payment information, password, etc.). Any (of many) stops along the road, like your service provider, cannot even have a sneak peak at this traffic. Today, this serves as the foundation of cyber security and is the main safeguard against online data theft. By glancing at a website's URL, you may quickly determine whether it is using SSL (address). HTTPS addresses are SSL encrypted, but addresses beginning with merely HTTP are not.The certification, usually referred to as certificate issuing, is the second part of SSL. Your web browser recognizes each certificate that was issued by an authorized organization (certificate authority). Simply expressed, the credibility of the organization issuing the certificate supports its worth. However, not all certificates are created equal, and website owners can obtain different levels of SSL certificates by going through more rigorous certification procedures, even though the majority of users won't check this frequently.
