SSL, which is short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the information that users submit on an Internet site. If they input a username and a password on a login page or they buy services and goods online and they type in their credit card details, the data shall be exchanged with the web server in an encrypted form, hence an unauthorized third-party will not be able to see it. An SSL certificate will raise the safety of your Internet site and will make it more appealing to clients, but on top of the cost for the SSL, you must spend extra money for a dedicated IP address, that is normally needed for the SSL installation.
