Do I need an SSL certificate?

In order for sensitive information, such as credit card information, to be sent securely over the internet, you will need to purchase an SSL certificate.

The Doteasy Ultra Hosting and Unlimited Hosting services support SSL certificates. You can purchase an SSL certificate for your domain name and we will install it for you.

An SSL certificate is what allows your website and online store to accept information via the Internet securely and identifies your store as a legitimate online business. When installed on the server where your site is being hosted, an SSL certificate will encrypt all information before transmitting it over the Internet.
