Why do I need an SSL certificate?

How to manually install your SSL certificate
To install SSL on a website, two files are required: the website's SSL certificate, usually in .crt format, and the private key file, typically in .key format.
Use FTP to access your server. Then, upload both the certificate and private key files to their designated locations on your server.
Server software, such as Apache or Nginx, requires instructions to locate the uploaded certificate and key files. This process involves editing your server configuration files, which contain essential settings and instructions for the proper operation of your server.
After finalizing the server configuration, move on to implement the changes by restarting your web server. Upon successfully restarting, the new SSL certificate will be installed on your website.
SSL Certificates FAQs
An SSL certificate secures the connection between a user’s browser and your website. SSL certification ensures that the data exchanged remains private and integral. It also helps build trust with visitors by displaying a padlock icon and "https://" in the browser's address bar.
There are different types of SSL certificates Domainwinds offers varying levels of validation. Domain Validation (DV) certificates are the most basic. Then there are Organization Validation (OV) certificates. And lastly Extended Validation (EV) certificates. EV certificates provide the highest level of trust with green address bars.
The best SSL certificate for your website depends on your specific needs and the level of trust you want to convey to visitors. If you collect sensitive data, an OV or EV certificate is recommended. For basic security on a non-commercial website, a DV certificate would be ideal.
The validity period of an SSL certificate varies depending on the type and issuer. Typically, SSL certificates are issued for one to two years. After expiration, you’ll need to renew your certificate to maintain secure connections.
SSL certificates don't slow down websites much. It adds only a tiny bit of extra work to transfer data. Plus, having an SSL certificate can actually make your website faster. Google likes websites with SSL certificates and might rank them higher in search results, which could boost your site's performance.
When you visit a website with an SSL certificate, your browser verifies the certificate's authenticity. Ensuring it's issued for the correct domain and hasn't expired. It then encrypts data exchanged between your browser and the server using a session key generated securely. This encryption safeguards sensitive information from interception, providing a secure browsing experience.
In most cases, SSL certificates are tied to the specific server or domain for which they were issued and cannot be transferred directly to another server. However, you can revoke the certificate and reissue it for the new server or domain. Be sure to follow proper procedures for certificate revocation and re-issuance to maintain security and validity.
