Why get an SSL certificate?
An SSL reduces your risk by keeping sensitive data collected on your website safe. The data is encrypted and backed by a warranty worth up to $1.75M to protect the end user.

Having HTTPS in the address bar and displaying a seal of trust increases customer confidence in your website and helps drive more sales.

Seal of Trust
Every SSL certificate includes a seal of trust graphic confirming your website is secure and your site visitors' information is protected. This will help instill confidence in your website.

Backed by warranty
All SSL certificates include a warranty, ranging from $10,000 up to $1.75M, depending on the type of SSL. This warranty protects the end user from any losses resulting from an incorrectly issued SSL.

*All SSL Certificates will automatically renew at their regular rates. Please note that a domain name is required to utilize all SSL Certificates.

By November 2025, Netfirms’ main site no longer functions and just redirects to a login page, suggesting their public-facing website has effectively been taken offline.

😠 I was a customer for 14 years. At first, I was happy but since they were bought it has been terrible. I finally moved my site over a year ago and wow, what a difference. Very slimy multiple year autorenewals with no refunds! STAY AWAY. If I could give no stars I would.

😠 NetFirms has been a complete disaster for our business. I have been unable to get the them to renew our SSL certificate due to an internal policy issue that must absolutely send sending a confirmation email to a mailbox of their choosing. Once that was created, still no email.
The overseas support gang is demotivated and simply wants to offload you to the next agent on the subsequent call. Promises are made that the SSL installation will happen in the next 4 hours and then...NADA, NOTHING, NIET, ZILCH. Call again, repeat the same conversation over and over from call to call and agent to agent.
That's what you will get If you sign on with these guys. Netfirms used to work well and the support team was great. That has all changed now.

Do you hate your online business? Are you looking to destroy it? Netfirm is a good choice for that. Choosing Netfirms for hosting amounts to digital suicide.
