SSL certificate with Loopia

What is SSL?

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is used to encrypt traffic between a website on a web server and a visitor from a browser. By encrypting the traffic it becomes impossible for unauthorized persons to intercept the traffic between the website and the visitor. The technique is often used for protecting passwords for your website login (WordPress for example) or at the payment step in an e-commerce where personal and credit card information is recorded and sent between the server and visitors.

How do I know if a website uses SSL?

If it says https:// instead of http:// before the domain name in the address field of the browser, the connection is encrypted. A padlock icon is also often displayed in the address bar to show that the connection is encrypted and secure.

What SSL certificates do Loopia provide?

We offer two SSL certificates that are registered and renewed annually or for several years (the more years, the cheaper). If you already have a certificate, you can easily add it within Loopia Customer zone.

SSL certificates are signed, allowing the visitors to confirm your website’s identity by eg clicking the padlock icon in the address field of your browser.
