Symantec SSL Certificates

SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. SSL Certificates are used to validate your website's identity, and encrypt the information sent between your site and it's visitors. This keeps your customer's data secure and out of the hands of thieves or hackers.

When you have a SSL Certificate intalled on your website, your customers are protected and assured that the information they enter on any secured page is private and can't be viewed by anyone else. This is expecially important for E-Commerce websites, which involve credit card and other sensitive information.

Symantec SSL Certificates are from the most recognized brand. Simply put, they inspire trust and show visitors that you value their privacy.

A SSL certificate also protects your customers' sensitive information such as their name, address, password, or credit card number by encrypting the data during transmission from their computer to your web server. SSL is the standard for web security, and most merchant account services require them to be used on E-Commerce websites—you'll need one if you plan to accept credit cards on your website.

You may have noticed that it is becoming more common for website owners to only allow their sites to display secured, with the https:// prefix ("always secure"). Google and other search providers now assign unsecured websites a lower ranking.

When a visitor enters a SSL-protected page on your website, their browser's address bar will display a padlock icon and the https:// prefix in the URL. While most Internet users know to look for this, you can also add the Norton Secured Seal like the one below to your website to show visitors your site has been verified and is secure.

Visitors can click the seal to view your certificate's status and details, seeing for themselves that it's safe to enter sensitive information on your website.

In addition, websites protected by Symantec's EV certificates display a green address bar, giving users even more assurance that your site is safe and secure.

All SSL-protected websites display the https:// prefix in the browser's address bar and a padlock icon. Sites protected with a Symantec Secure Site with EV or Secure Site Pro with EV certificate display a green address bar to let site visitors know that the organization's legal and physical existence was verified according to strict industry standards.

Symantec's EV certificates involves a stringent vetting process. Symantec verifies the control of the domain and legitimacy of your company by validating the legal name, address, phone number and other business information. Even so, the process usually takes only about 7-10 days.

We are seasoned Internet professionals and have been working with SSL certificates since they've existed. All of the Symantec SSL certificates we offer provide up to 256-bit encryption, and are recognized by all of the major desktop and mobile browsers on the market. Plus, they're backed by Symantec's free 24/7 customer service and support. Best of all, we take pride in offering Symantec SSL certicates for less cost than many of our competitors.

Once you complete your order, you will be able to start configuring it immediately. Once that is complete, Symantec Standard SSL certificates typically take 1-2 business days, and EV SSL certificates usually take about 5-7 business days. In either case, you can shorten the wait time by making sure the domain contact information listed in the WhoIs database is up-to-date.

EV certificates typically take longer, as there is a stringent vetting process. Before you start, pull together details about your business, such as registration number, registered agent, incorporation and any other relevant jurisdiction information.

All Symantec SSL certificates secure a single domain / subdomain. If you need an SSL certificate to protect multiple domains or subdomains, then a GeoTrust SSL certificate or a Comodo SSL certificate might be a better choice.

A Vulnerability Assessment helps you quickly identify and take action against the most exploitable weaknesses on your website.

A daily Anti-Malware scan is performed every 24 hours with all Symantec SSL certicates. This helps you discover any active threats so you can take immediate action and secure your website.
