Imagine your website is a physical store.
Your store has strong locks, alarm systems and guards to protect you from break-ins and people stealing from you.
Secure hosting is the equivalent for a website.
Secure hosting protects your files, data and your digital server.
It prevents you from being hacked.
It prevents people from hijacking your business.
SSL certificates are special pathways that keep your information between your visitors and your website encrypted and private.
SSL certificates make sure that sensitive data like credit card numbers are safely stored and kept private.
If you are a business owner, you want to make sure your website is hosted securely and has SSL certificates that are up to date.
This helps you build trust because it shows your website visitors know your site is safe and that you value security.
This protects you and your client data from thieves, hackers and can help you avoid legal issues.
This helps you rank higher on search engines and attract more visitors because search engines favor secure and safe websites.
So how can you tell if your website is safe and secure?
