SSL CERTIFICATE
SSL CERTIFICATE – Easy Website Protection for Beginners and Small Businesses
An SSL certificate keeps your website and your visitors safe. It adds the little padlock you see in browser bars and changes your site from http:// to https://—telling people (and search engines) that your site is secure and trustworthy.
With SSL, anything your visitors type—like passwords, credit cards, or contact forms—is encrypted, which means hackers can’t steal the information. Even if you’re just starting out, an SSL certificate helps your site look professional and builds confidence with customers.
At Website Basics+, we make it simple. Choose a self-managed SSL if you’re comfortable setting it up yourself, or pick a fully managed SSL and let us handle everything for you—from installation to renewals—so you can focus on your business.
SSL isn’t just about security. It’s also good for SEO. Google gives a boost to secure (HTTPS) websites, and visitors are more likely to stay on your site if it looks safe.
Pro Tip:
🔐 You don’t have to be tech-savvy to protect your site. A managed SSL does all the work for you—no coding or setup stress needed.

How SSL Certificates Work
(Even If You’re Not Techy)
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) may sound complicated, but setting it up is simpler than you think.
Here’s what happens behind the scenes when you use an SSL certificate on your site:
Your Visitor Connects to Your Website
When someone types in your domain name or clicks a link to your site, their browser checks to see if your site has a valid SSL certificate.
Data Is Encrypted and Protected
Information like passwords, payment details, and contact forms are scrambled (encrypted) so hackers can’t steal it during transfer.
Data Is Encrypted and Protected
The last step is authentication which confirms that the server is legitimate and trusted by verifying its identity. Authentication helps protect visitors from being taken to a fake or dangerous website. A padlock appears in the address bar to indicate a secure connection.
Why Choose a Managed SSL Certificate?
Managing your SSL on your own can be tricky — especially if you’re not a developer. A Managed SSL Certificate takes the pressure off by handling the setup, renewals, and any technical hiccups for you.
Here’s what makes managed better:
We Handle the Setup
No coding, no server uploads. We install the certificate for you and make sure it’s working properly from day one.
Automatic Renewals
Never worry about your certificate expiring or your site losing its padlock. We take care of renewals behind the scenes.
Ongoing Monitoring & Support
We check your certificate regularly and fix issues fast. If anything goes wrong, we’re on it—no action needed on your part.
✅ Pro Tip:
With a Managed SSL, you get peace of mind. It’s perfect for business owners who don’t want to deal with technical tasks but still want a secure, professional-looking website.
Benefits
Common Errors
SSL issues can break the trust your site builds with visitors. These common mistakes often lead to browser warnings or site downtime—but our Managed SSL service helps prevent them all.
Certificate Not Installed Correctly
Installing SSL manually can be tricky. One misstep and your site could still show as “Not Secure.” We handle the entire setup for you—no technical guesswork needed.
Expired Certificate
If your SSL expires, your site immediately triggers security warnings. Our managed plans include automatic renewals, so your certificate never lapses.
Mixed Content Warnings
Even with SSL, some pages may try to load insecure elements (like old image links). We fix these "mixed content" issues to make sure your entire site is fully secure.
Incorrect Domain Validation
Without proper domain validation, your certificate won’t activate. We verify and configure everything for you, ensuring a smooth and fast activation process.
✅ Pro Tip:
Even one SSL error can make visitors bounce. With Managed SSL, you avoid the stress and stay secure around the clock.
