FREE SSL SSL Certification for Client Websites
Powered by Let’s Encrypt Certificate Authority, Gympie Hosting is now providing FREE SSL certification for our client websites.
Why do you need SSL?
The internet is steadily moving towards the secure HTTPS as a default protocol. The SSL certificates are no longer only for sites that accept sensitive data like credit card information or login details. Having an SSL installed on your site is now a factor for the search engine ranking and provides your visitors with an additional layer of security (avoiding the question of “is this a scam website”).
What does SSL provide?
Secure access to your website when using HTTPS. All traffic between your website and it’s visitors will be encrypted.
