# What’s an SSL Certificate? And, Which One is Right for me?

### Introduction

**Have you ever wondered what an SSL certificate is?** The presence of a small lock in the URL bar indicates a secure website connection. An SSL certificate ensures that any data exchanged remains private.

## What’s an SSL Certificate and what do they do?

SSL stands for _Secure Sockets Layer_, making web connections secure and encrypted, which is critical when requesting personal or payment details.

## Are SSL Certificates necessary?

Yes, especially for sites requesting sensitive information.

### What happens if you don’t have an SSL Certificate?

Lack of an SSL certificate can lead to loss of visitor trust and expose sensitive information to hackers.

## Types of SSL Certificates

### Encryption and Validation Certificates

#### Extended Validated Certificate

The highest class of SSL, requiring proof of domain ownership.

#### Organisation Validated Certificate

A more affordable option, offering medium-level encryption.

#### Domain Validated Certificate

A quick and economical way to implement SSL.

### Wildcard SSL Certificates

Covers multiple domains and subdomains with one certificate.
