What is an SSL Certificate?

A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificate creates an encrypted link between a Web site and a visitor's Web browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the Web site and the browser remains private and secure.

The Certificate also demonstrates to your visitors that your Web site is owned by a legitimate business. This is done through a validation process performed by a Certificate Authority (CA) prior to issuing you an SSL Certificate.

Finally, the SSL Certificate puts the "s" in "https" in the Web site address (URL), and puts the closed padlock on the browser — items most consumers look for when transacting business online.

Why does my business need an SSL Certificate?

The encryption provided by SSL Certificates helps to prevent hackers from stealing private and confidential information sent via the Internet. A Web site secured with an SSL Certificate provides a safe place for customers to enter sensitive data such as credit card information, bank account numbers, etc. If you transact business on your Web site, you need an SSL Certificate!

How do I choose an SSL Certificate provider?

Things to consider when evaluating SSL Certificate providers include the data encryption level, Web browser compatibility, price, and customer support.

Network Solutions SiteSafe™ SSL Certificates offer:

  • The highest available encryption level—up to 256 bit
  • Compatibility with over 99% of Web browsers worldwide.
  • Competitive pricing. Compare us to the competition
  • Award-winning, free, 24/7 Real-Person Customer Service™.
What is the right SiteSafe™ service for me?

Network Solutions® offers three different SSL Certificates – Basic, Pro, and Wildcard. All offer state-of-the art security backed by industry-leading customer support. The primary differences between the services are the guarantee behind the Certificate, how quickly the Certificate is issued, and how many domains or sub-domains the Certificate can work with.

What is the difference between SSL Certificates and a Site Confirm Seal?

A SiteSafe™ SSL Certificate creates an encrypted link between your Web site and your visitor's browser, and comes with a free "seal" to display on your homepage. This clickable seal shows detailed information about your company along with the guarantee behind the SSL Certificate.

If you don't need to encrypt your Web site for secure online transactions, you can purchase and display just the Site Confirm Seal to show your Web site has been validated as a legitimate business. Visitors can click on this seal to view your company's credentials. The Site Confirm seal has a $50,000 guarantee, but offers no encryption service. Learn More

How do I receive my SSL Certificate?

When you buy a SiteSafe™ SSL Certificate, you are asked to provide specific information which Network Solutions will verify, or validate, to prove you are a legitimate business. For example, you may be asked for articles of incorporation, licensing, etc. You move through the various stages of validation using Network Solutions Account Manager. E-mail communications will also be sent to you to assist you in the process.

Once all validation is complete, your SSL Certificate is issued electronically and is ready for installation on your Web site. If your Web site is hosted with Network Solutions, much of this installation process is automated for you.
