HugoNet SSL Certificates
SSL Certificates are what you need to use if you are planning on having a web site that allows your customers or clients to submit information
of any description. An SSL (secure sockets layer) certificate encrypts any data that is sent to or from your website to your visitors.
This helps to ensure that any sensitive data that may be passed over the internet is unreadable by anyone. This helps greatly to protect against
identity theft and many other types of information hijacking.
The use of a SSL certificate is an absolute must if you are looking at exchanging any sort of personal information with your website visitors or customers.
SSL certificates can be issued in one of two ways:
-
The full purchase of an SSL certificate.
This is the most straight-forward way of protecting the data that you might send of receive form your visitors and customers. This involves purchasing a secure certificate for your entire web site. -
Rental of a shared SSL certificate.
This is a more complex way of securing your data. By using this method, your data that need to be secured is placed in a 'shared ssl' environment. This method can be used on a per-month basis, rather then per year. Please note that there may be some additional configuration required for your website to work with this method. The use of the shared option is in no way any less secure to your visitors and customers then a full SSL certificate.
Certificates can be ordered with many differing parameters, so it would be best to contact our sales team in order to discuss your requirements and pricing.
