Secure Server certificates

Reassure your visitors with the secure yellow padlock that lets them know that the data they're entering will be transmitted in a secure manner. SSL protects data during transfer by encrypting it so that it cannot be snooped in transit. The data is not decrypted until it reaches your web server.

We offer a range of GeoTrust SSL certificate products, depending on your requirements. All certificates offer 128-bit encryption, the de facto commercial standard. GeoTrust is the safest and fastest growing, second largest Certification Authority worldwide. GeoTrust certificates also come with the GeoTrust site seal and are compatible with 99% of all web browsers. This seal is instant and recognizable proof to your customers that your site is safe. It immediately establishes and confirms encrypted, confidential and secure communications, and will help you develop a strong and trusting relationship with your customers.
