How to Get a Free SSL Certificates
SSL, as we all know is
an industry-standard for verifying the identity of a website before users can
enter their personal and financial information. Many companies charge for this
service, but thanks to the Internet it's no longer something you need to pay a
fortune to get. In this article, I will discuss how to get a free SSL certificate
so that you can start protecting your website with a padlock on your domain
name.
One of The easiest ways to get a free SSL certificate is through one of the many free web
hosting plans available online today. Many hosts have built-in support for the
secure transport of sensitive information, and if you are lucky enough to have
a good host then you may find that they offer free SSL certificates as part of
their free hosting plans. The challenge with these free services however is
that many of them are shared amongst a large number of websites. If you want a
really fast and effective option then you should look towards one of the
dedicated web hosting plans that can offer you a certificate in just a few
minutes from when you sign up.
When looking
at which host would be best for getting you a free SSL certificate, there are a number of factors that you should take into consideration. You will first need
to decide which type of certificate you want, the obvious choice for an online
business. These types of security certificates are relatively simple to get, all
you will need to do is provide the URL of your Weebly website builder
that you want to protect, the magic tester will then generate your SSL
certificate.
The downside of using
these free certifications are that there is no way of telling which website has
been attacked, making it extremely easy for hackers to get their hands on the
private information on your website. Another problem with using free SSL certificates
is that you can run into problems when trying to update the website, as the old link will still point to the older version, making it virtually impossible for
users who have recently moved on to a new site to access it. Dedicated web
hosting, however, will allow you to get a secure link to your site without any
of these problems and will also allow you to make any changes to your website
at any time.
