SSL certificates are used to verify the authenticity of a secure connection to a website. When you are connected to a website over an SSL connection, the entire connection is encrypted – and any data to and from the website is encrypted – which means any criminal that is trying to see what data is being transmitted will not be able to make sense of the encrypted data, as it is not decrypted until it reaches the other end.

SSL certificates are necessary because it provides confidence and security to you and to your end users that the secure connection is definitely with the website they are visiting and the data being transmitted back and forth hasn't been tampered with.

With an SSL certificate, your customers will be rest assured that when it comes to entering in their debit or credit card information to complete an order, or to log in to an area requiring personal information, their details are safe and the connection with the website is fully secure. If anyone gets a hold of the data that is being transmitted before it reaches the other end, it will be encrypted data with strong encryption, it would take a trillion years to break using brute force with current computing speeds available.

For any business with an online client area, e-commerce store, web hosting provider or any website with an ordering system or client area portal – it is critical to have an SSL certificate in areas where sensitive information may be transmitted.
