SSL is short for Secure Sockets Layer. In simpler terms, it's the way small businesses communicate with customers so they can search, buy products or services and share information securely with you online.<\/p>\n<p>Without getting too technical, adding an SSL certificate creates a secure connection for such activities.<\/p>\n<p>An SSL certificate protects your site and your visitors from many digital bugs, worms and other nasty web critters.<\/p>\n<p>Before quickly dismissing your site as \"too small to be a target\", keep in mind that most interceptions are done electronically without a human deciding who is attacked. Therefore, no site is too small to be hacked or attacked.<\/p>\n<p>They don't care how big you are or what you do for a living. They have one goal, and that is to find vulnerabilities. Once discovered, their dirty work begins.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"separacion-h2\" class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid separacion-h2 vc_custom_1668948324779\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"h2A\">What is the SSL Certificate?<\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"h2B\">What is the SSL Certificate?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"h2separador\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"table-of-contents-1\" class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid justify vc_custom_1669108725105\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  justify\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"vc_custom_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Como_funciona_el_certificado_SSL\"><\/span>How the SSL certificate works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An SSL certificate works to create an encrypted connection between your visitor's browser and the server. It is a secure session that is established through a handshake-like process. It works to protect valuable information that is transmitted between the two parties.<\/p>\n<p>And this brings us back to the initial question: does your website really need an SSL certificate? We will now explain the reasons why you need it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid separacion-h2 vc_custom_1668948324779\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"h2A\">What is the SSL Certificate?<\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"h2B\">What is the SSL Certificate?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"h2separador\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"table-of-contents-2\" class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid justify vc_custom_1669108743735\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  justify\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"vc_custom_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Razones_para_tener_un_certificado_SSL\"><\/span>Reasons to have an SSL certificate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An SSL certificate is absolutely essential for any business that collects sensitive customer information, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers or account login details. It is also important for any site that handles login credentials for remote access, such as VPNs or other employees requiring remote access to the company network.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to think of what an SSL certificate does is that it is like a guard at the gate: now anyone trying to access your website will have to show a valid \"ticket\" before they can get started. By installing an SSL on your website, you can be sure that all data is transmitted securely and cannot be intercepted by third parties.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"sub-table-of-contents-2-1\" class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid justify vc_custom_1669108769824\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  justify\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"vc_custom_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pagos_online\"><\/span>Online payments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Are you planning to accept all major credit cards as online payment on your website, is it an online shop? Then this is an important reason to install your certificate.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it, would you really want to put your customers at risk of having their credit card information stolen while shopping on your website? I'm sure you wouldn't. It makes sense that you want to offer a secure payment site and give confidence and security to your customers.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"sub-table-of-contents-2-2\" class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid justify vc_custom_1669108781464\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  justify\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"vc_custom_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Proteger_las_contrasenas\"><\/span>Protecting passwords<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the main reasons you may need to add an SSL certificate to your website is if any of your pages are password protected. This includes, for example, WordPress or other database-driven sites with an administrator login page.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that everything you need to be secure online must operate under the safety net of an SSL certificate. The Internet is full of bots constantly lurking around looking for poorly protected password pages to give them access to your website.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"sub-table-of-contents-2-3\" class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid justify vc_custom_1669108792100\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  justify\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"vc_custom_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Asegure_todos_los_formularios_web\"><\/span>Secure all web forms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Not all websites are used to make online sales. Some websites simply collect information. And these could be from potential customers. If you are collecting even the most basic information, such as name, address, phone number and email address, your customers probably don't want that information leaked.<\/p>\n<p>Without an SSL certificate, some types of form mail can be intercepted. And your potential customers will certainly not be happy about having their data stolen.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"sub-table-of-contents-2-4\" class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1669108802952\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  justify\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"vc_custom_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Posicionamiento_SEO\"><\/span>SEO positioning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Google tells us that the SSL configuration on your website is important, and it is actually a ranking factor.
