Seal of Trust Logo

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.

📄 Editorial Review

Netfirms is now best understood as a legacy Canadian hosting brand rather than an active standalone hosting provider. The company was established in 1998, with Thomas Savundra associated as president and co-founder, and it became one of the better-known early web hosting names for small businesses, individuals and entry-level online projects.

During its active years, Netfirms focused on simple web presence services: Shared Hosting, Domain Registration, SSL Certificates, Website Builder, Email Hosting, domain privacy, website backup, SiteLock security, and business email tools. Its shared hosting packages were built for non-technical users who needed a domain, website, email and security basics in one account.

The company later became part of Endurance International Group in 2011, and eventually moved under the wider Newfold Digital hosting portfolio. By late 2025, Netfirms no longer functioned like an independent public hosting storefront. The brand became mostly a legacy access point for existing customers, while new hosting and domain activity moved toward Network Solutions.

The older Netfirms hosting range was simple and practical. Shared hosting plans included free SSL protection, FTP access, databases, email accounts, website builder tools, eCommerce features and marketing tools. Email services included browser and mobile access, custom domain email, mailbox security and business-style email storage. For small websites, personal pages and basic company sites, this was enough; for VPS, dedicated servers, cloud infrastructure or high-performance hosting, Netfirms was limited.

The main advantage of Netfirms was its beginner-friendly structure. The main disadvantage was scalability. The brand was heavily focused on shared hosting and entry-level services, while more demanding users often needed better performance, modern infrastructure, developer tools or more transparent upgrade paths.

😠 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.
