The Importance of SSL and HTTPS
With many internet users having growing concerns about their privacy online organizations like Google are answering with tighter restrictions and warning. Our host Kyle shares about the new security updates by Google to warn users of the unsecured website and how it can affect you and your website.
“In HTTPS, the S stands for ‘Secure’ and that ensures any data that’s taken in from you is being encrypted behind different vaults of security.” -Kyle
“Google may not negatively impact your SEO based on your site security, but they will flag your website and it will stop people from visiting the website.” -Kyle
“Most SSL certificates are tiered now, meaning you have different options for security.” -Kyle
“Some hosts include SSL pricing within hosting, it increases the cost of hosting a little bit now but it’s really a great option.” -Matt
“More than 64% of Americans have had their data or private information hacked in 2017 alone.” -Kyle
“If you aren’t sure how to protect your website and add that S, talk with your web host and they will help you sort that out.” -Matt
