Secure Socket Layer Certificates
SSL is Secure Socket layer that accepts confidential data and converts it into encrypted form thus ensuring data security. It creates an encrypted link between a web server and a web browser. The link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browser remains private and secure. The SSL protocol is used by millions of e-Business providers to protect their customers ensuring that their online transactions remain confidential. In order to be able to use the SSL protocol, a web server requires the use of an SSL certificate provided by Certification Authorities (CA)
Web hosting UK offers inexpensive GeoTrust SSL Certificates to ensure secure online transactions and conduct business over the internet through a shielded protocol.
