Why do I need an SSL Certificate?
SSL is used to encrypt traffic to and from your website. This is critical for the privacy and transmission of sensitive data including but not limited to anything that you or your users deem private or sensitive. The sensitive data may be a credit card number or it may just be the user’s name. Regardless, an SSL certificate issued by one of the recommended Certification Authorities (CAs) on this site will improve the security of your website or web server when installed correctly. For more information on what SSL Certificates are and what they do, we have a focused post with a much more detailed description here (What are SSL Certificates?).
Which Certificate Authority should I buy from?
The Certificate Authority you should buy from depends on a number of factors. For example, cost, warranty, or life cycle plans all factor into which Certificate Authority you should end up purchasing your SSL certificate from. The security of an SSL certificate is essentially the same based on the category of certificate you are looking for, with not one CA being recommended over another as far as publicly trusted CAs are concerned as they are all bound by the same baseline requirements defined by the CA/Browser forum.
