Will visitors know that my website is secure?

Most of the people will look for a padlock icon before submitting any information online. The Standard Alpha SSL allows you to display the yellow padlock (signifying secure connection) in all popular browsers and mobile devices. This means transactions and customer data are encrypted and your visitors have confidence in your security.
Additionally when your website is secured by the Standard Alpha SSL certificate you will be able to show it with a dynamic site seal placed on your website. This visible banner ensures that your website is secure. Moreover, when clicked it will show additional information like validity of the certificate, expiration date etc, which further enhances your visitors trust.
 

Will it matter if my site is accessed with or without www?

Unlike many of the other basic SSL certificates available on the market the Standard Alpha SSL allows you to use encrypted connection no matter if your visitors use www prefix or not when accessing your website.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

About AlphaSSL

Hostmy1stweb.com is an Authorized Partner of GlobalSign, the global SSL provider. GlobalSign is a WebTrust accredited Certification Authority (CA) with over 10 years experience, and together we offer a range of publicly trusted SSL Certificates.

AlphaSSL is owned by GlobalSign, the second oldest Certificate Authority (CA) next to VeriSign. As they are the second oldest CA, their SSL certificates are recognized by 99% of all web browsers.

AlphaSSL certificates are chained certificates. This means they provide the same level of acceptance but with a higher level of security than single-root certificates such as RapidSSL. In fact, Paypal uses a chained certificate for their own website.

Benefits:

  • Provides more security than single-root certificates! Chained SSL certificates are more secure than single-root certificates since installing an intermediate certificate keeps the top root certificate secure. It is important to keep the root certificate secure since the security of any SSL certificate depends solely on the root certificate.
  • More bang for your buck! Covers both 'versions' of your domain with one SSL certificate. Example: Secures both https://www.yourdomain.com and https://yourdomain.com if you order a SSL certificate for the hostname, "www.yourdomain.com".
  • Provides up to 256-bit encryption for your website.
  • Works with much more micro/cell phone browsers than RapidSSL.
  • Is issued from a 2048 bit Root Certificate which meets the NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology) recommendation to use 2048 bit keys.
