How? If you\u2019ve recently surfed the Internet on your Chrome browser, you\u2019ve probably noticed an indicator next to a domain name. An indicator which looks like one of the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15183\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/secure2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"237\" height=\"169\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The symbol indicates if a website is safe to visit. Here is the explanation for each:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secure: The information you send to the site will be private.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Info: The site isn&#8217;t using a private connection. Someone might be able to see the information you send through this site. Google suggests you don&#8217;t enter sensitive details, like passwords or credit cards.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not Secure or Dangerous: Google suggests you don&#8217;t enter any private or personal information on this page. If avoidable, don\u2019t use this site.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Why does this happen?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HTTP is HyperText Transfer Protocol and the \u2018S\u2019 at the end of HTTPS stands for SSL (Secure Socket Layer). This digital certificate, if installed, activates a padlock and the HTTPS protocol which allows a secure connection from a web server to a browser. Without a digital certificate or a \u2018HTTPS\u2019 connection, Chrome will label the website as \u2018Not Secure\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since January 2017, Chrome has already begun flagging websites as \u2018Not secure\u2019 and by October 2017, all websites will be required to adopt the Certificate Transparency standard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What does an SSL certificate do?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An SSL certificate is a bit of code that secures sensitive information across different networks around the world. Even if your website does not request information like credit card details, SSL is still critical to your website. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information is passed from computer to computer to get to the destination server. An computer within this network (between your computer and the destination server) will have access to passwords, account details, personal information etc. An SSL certificate encrypts that information so it is only read by the destination server. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>What is encryption?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encryption is a mathematical process of converting some data or information into a code with the intent to prevent unauthorised access.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A number of bits builds the size of the key. The bits can be 40-bit, 56-bit or 256-bit. Think of it as the combination number lock you\u2019d use to secure your travel suitcase. A regular number lock has about 3 columns but imagine how much more secure it would be if it had say, 5 columns of numbers. Similarly with bits &#8211; the larger the key, the more possible the combination. A 128-bit encryption is <\/span><b>one trillion times stronger<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than 40-bit encryption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Can I install an SSL certificate on Shared Hosting?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To ensure your clients\u2019 websites are marked safe, we strongly suggest installing SSL certificates on Shared Hosting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a technical point, yes you can most definitely use an SSL certificate on your shared hosting plan but whether or not your provider allows it is something you need to find out. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the Shared hosting services by Resellerclub support installation of Digital Certificates; bought either from us or any third party vendors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most of the cases, for the certificate installation to successfully work for your site, you&#8217;ll need a Dedicated IP address in that Shared hosting environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Which SSL Certificate should I Choose?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a table with the types of certificates and the features to help you make a decision better.
