What is SSL? (Secure Socket Layer)

SSL Certificates are fundamental to internet security. They are used to establish an encrypted connection and allow data to be transmitted securely between a browser or user’s computer and a server or website.

  • Establishes a secure connection between a browser and a server
  • Encrypts communication to protect sensitive information your customers provide to you
  • Places a padlock next to your web address in the browser
  • Authenticates an organization’s identity

Standard SSL (Domain Validated) Certificates are the easiest and most common type of SSL certificate. OV and EV Certificates also authenticate the identity of the company or organization that holds the certificate providing more trust to end users.

With our SSL certificate services*, you won’t need to take manual steps to configure and deploy new certificates every year. We generate a renewal order automatically when your certificate nears the end of its validity. After payment, we will automatically configure, validate, and provision your new certificate for you.

* Your domain must be hosted by Bluegrass Web Works and the SSL certificate, and the server must use cPanel, Plesk, or DirectAdmin.

Frequently Asked Questions

SSL Certificates enable data encryption on the internet and allow data to be transmitted securely from a web server to a browser. With SSL, your website can use the https protocol and will display a padlock in end users web browsers to indicate the connection is secure.

SSL Certificates are an essential part of the internet. They not only encrypt communication between your computer and the server where a website is located, but they also provide verification that a site is what it claims to be.

 A Multi-domain SSL Certificate can secure your main domain + several SAN (Subject Alternative Name) domain names in one Certificate.

Multi-domain Certificates are often used for Unified Communications (UC) to secure Microsoft Exchange 2010 Server, Office Communications Server 2007 or Mobile Device Manager.

For example, you can secure all these domains with a single SAN Certificate:

www.bluegrasswebworks.com
www.exchange.bluegrasswebowrks.com
www.bluegrasswebworksgroup.com
www.web-hosting.com 

Multi-domain SSL Certificates do not require several dedicated IP addresses for your host names.

Site Seals are static or dynamic images that can be implemented on websites secured by an SSL Certificate; they show your customers that the site is validated and verified by an appropriate Certificate Authority and transmission of data through the website is processed through secured connection.

A Dynamic Site Seal will allow you to have it appearing as a pop-up on your website. For OV/EV certificates Site Seals are dynamic by default and will include your company information.
