We are often asked
There are two ways to get a certificate for HTTPS:
From your hosting provider:
- is provided free of charge if your website is hosted on one of Google's web services;
- provided on a paid basis by one of our partners or another provider.
From certification center.
The advantages of a site on https include:
- confidentiality (data is transmitted encrypted at all stages);
- integrity (information can't be stolen, used or changed)
- user authentication security.
A website with a secure protocol increases the trust of potential customers. In addition, transferring a site to HTTPS allows you not only to save but also to increase your position in search results. And the transfer of the website from HTTP to HTTPS makes it possible to install an electronic payment system.
Transferring the website on HTTPS should be done as soon as possible. Otherwise, rate positions and the traffic of the resource may decrease for a few weeks (on Google) or a few weeks/months (on Yandex) approximately on 20%. The optimal period for transferring a site to a secure protocol is the low season of your business.
To save the position and traffic of the website as much as possible while transferring to a secure connection, you need to prepare the platform correctly and set the transition from HTTP to HTTPS. Follow these rules for appropriate results:
- Choose and purchase an SSL certificate that is suitable for you.
- Replace all absolute links with relative ones (this stage can take a lot of time, but it will help to avoid subsidence of the site's positions in the search results).
- Install SSL certificate files on the server and configure them, and then check that the installation is correct.
- Set up a 301st redirect from HTTP to HTTPS by direct redirecting each page, and then test the operation of external scripts and images.
- Report search engines about switching on HTTPS
The main criterion when choosing a certificate is its compliance with individual security requirements and ensuring reliable encryption of users' personal data.
Compare all variants of SSL certificate types and then choose the suitable one. For an online business card, news portals, or entertainment blog, a free certificate installation would be enough. For commercial sites (insurance companies or online stores), the data of which requires full encryption, it is recommended to choose paid certificates with extended verification.
There are two ways to get a free SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt):
- in the cPanel hosting control panel;
- via the server command line using the Certbot bot (suitable for those who have already worked with the command line).
