SSL Certificates

0845 058 9000

SSL certificates provide a means of communicating securely with web customers and make eavesdropping on your web traffic almost impossible.

An SSL Web Server certificate:

  • Confirms that you are who you say you are in a virtual world
  • Encrypts information sent to and from your web server
  • Protects information from being tampered with

You need one if:

  • You conduct online transactions via your web site
  • You receive/send information of a personal nature via your web site
  • You wish to inspire trust in those who communicate with you via your web site
  • You require secure server to server communication

Which SSL Certificate product is right for you?

Dedicated SSL Certificate

A dedicated SSL is unique and essentially registers an individual trader as having a secure site. For customers this translates to peace of mind, as they're able to confirm in seconds that they're sending their credit card details to the real joebloggs.com (for example) and not an impostor's site.

Example: a customer hosting a site http://www.joebloggs.com can access the site securely using a URL similar to https://secure.joebloggs.com.

Shared SSL Certificate for Windows Hosting Packages

With a shared SSL certificate, customers can access selected areas of your site through Zen's shared domain. A typical shared SSL URL would look something like: https://securehost1.zen.co.uk/joebloggs.

A shared certificate provides the same level of security as a dedicated certificate, but it does not provide a consistent domain URL reference. For e-commerce users and those customers requiring a consistent presentation of their Web site, we would recommend selecting a dedicated certificate.
