Buy an SSL certificate
Protect your online reputation without worrying about the specifics. Let Nexcess manage your SSL certificates.
Why buy an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate lets users know that your website is safe and secure by validating it in browsers and ensuring the protection of private information. We offer a range of reliable SSL certificates to secure your hosting solution, whether that involves a single domain or many.
What are SSL certificates?
SSL certificates are digital certificates that authenticate your website’s identity and allow for the secure transmission of sensitive information, such as credit card data.They give your website an “https://” address, which allows browsers to encrypt data in a way that makes it unreadable to potential third-party eavesdroppers and other malicious entities.
Why are they important?
SSLs form a vital security component. They reassure potential customers of your website’s legitimacy and trustworthiness. They also make your site PCI DSS-compliant.Domains without an SSL certificate will not be seen as secure by Google and will have their search ranking penalized.

Your visitors will not see your website immediately. Without an SSL, most browsers will display a warning that your website is not secure and personal data may be compromised. Visitors may never visit your website again, or worse — they may tell others not to visit your website.
