SSL Certificates

The padlock in your browser bar isn't just cosmetic. It's what tells customers your site is safe, and what Google uses to decide whether to rank you.

SSL Certificates

HTTPS installed, enforced, monitored and renewed for you.

HTTPS enforced as standard on all builds
Installed and active within hours
Auto-renewal managed for you
Positive Google ranking signal

The problem

What Visitors See Without SSL

SSL is one of the cheapest, most impactful things you can do for your website. There's no reason not to have it.

A "Not Secure" warning in Chrome and Safari, visible to every visitor
Lower Google search rankings, a confirmed ranking penalty
Lost trust: most users abandon a site marked as not secure
Form submissions sent unencrypted across the network

How we help

HTTPS Isn't Optional Anymore.

An SSL certificate encrypts the connection between your website and your visitors. Without one, browsers display a 'Not Secure' warning in the address bar, instantly destroying trust before a single word is read. Google has also confirmed HTTPS as a ranking factor: unsecured sites rank lower, secured sites rank higher. We install, configure and manage SSL certificates for every site we host, and for external sites that need one added, handling setup, automatic renewal and any configuration issues so your padlock stays green permanently.

What's included

Everything in this service

SSL Installation

We install your SSL certificate correctly, including proper redirect rules so all HTTP traffic is automatically sent to HTTPS.

Auto-Renewal Management

SSL certificates expire. We monitor yours and renew it automatically, so you'll never see the dreaded "Your connection is not private" error.

HTTPS Redirect Setup

All HTTP traffic permanently redirected to HTTPS. No mixed content warnings. No broken padlock. Done correctly from day one.

Mixed Content Resolution

Images, scripts or stylesheets loading over HTTP break your HTTPS. We audit and fix every mixed content issue so your padlock stays solid.

Certificate Monitoring

We monitor your certificate's validity and expiry date 24/7. If anything changes, we're alerted before you, and your visitors, ever notice.

Multi-Domain Support

Need SSL across multiple subdomains or domains? We configure wildcard and multi-domain certificates for businesses running several sites.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need an SSL certificate?

Yes. Without one, browsers show a "Not Secure" warning to every visitor. It also negatively affects your Google ranking. SSL is non-negotiable for any modern website.

My site already has a padlock, do I still need you?

If your SSL was set up correctly and renews automatically, you may be fine. However, many sites have mixed content issues that quietly break SSL. We can audit yours and confirm everything is working properly.

What's the difference between HTTP and HTTPS?

HTTP is an unencrypted connection. HTTPS is encrypted, meaning data passed between your site and visitors (like form submissions) is secure. The 'S' stands for secure.

How long does installation take?

Typically a few hours from start to finish, usually the same day.

Does SSL improve my Google ranking?

Yes. Google has confirmed HTTPS as a ranking signal. All else being equal, a secured site ranks above an unsecured one.
