We offer you the first year for free (up to $25), so you can try out your business web address for no money down. Already have a domain name? We’ll help you transfer it to our web hosting service at no charge.

Why is website security important?

Website security is important because it builds trust with potential customers. All internet browsers display a warning to users that says “this site is not secure” if the site lacks an SSL Website Security Certificate. Would you feel safe buying something from a website like that?

“SSL” stands for “Secure Sockets Layer” and makes your website safe from hackers and scammers out to steal the personal information sent through your site. There are some other benefits to having a secure website:

  • Boosted search ranking: secure websites will appear higher up in search result lists
  • Reduced security risks: information like credit card numbers and customer contact info is safer from theft
  • Increased customer trust: a secure website customers can trust means more business for you

Search engines and customers will take your website more seriously with SSL Security protections in place. That’s why we include it for free with every website.
