We offer free Let's Encrypt Certificates with all of our Cloud hosting plans. Our automatic AutoSSL installer will encrypt your SilverStripe site. If you want to use a paid certificate from another provider, we fully support third-party SSLs and can help you with the installation.
Benefits of an SSL Certificate:
- You will be able to make use of the secure browser protocol HTTPS:// in the address bar for your SilverStripe website.
- Having an SSL certificate installed on your website will benefit from SEO, as Google’s search algorithm favours those with securely encrypted websites.
- Your domain name will show the green padlock which will give your visitors confidence when visiting your site.
- Automatic renewal so you don't have to worry about your certificate expiry near its due date.
- Let’s Encrypt provides secure 256-bit transactions for user data and payment cards.
The certificate issued is a wildcard to cover *. allowing coverage for any subdomains you create on your account.
