SSL Certificates – Are Google Penalising Websites Without One?

Why are Google Targeting Websites Without an SSL Certificate?

Anyone in the world of e-commerce or who operates a website where personal data is collected should take note. In October Google announced that it would be penalising websites which don’t have an SSL certificate. Google Chrome has introduced a ‘non-secure’ message on all websites that do not have an SSL certificate installed, to alert users when filling out forms on insecure web pages.

This is the latest move in the search engines crackdown in protecting customers from the risks of cybercrime. In an alarming report, it is estimated that cybersecurity damages will cost the world an incomprehensible $6 trillion annually by 2021. Online security has become an everyday necessity, and this should be viewed as a positive step in customer protection.

What is a SSL certificate?

SSL stands for ‘Secure Socket Layer’ – it is a way to encrypt data shared between your server/website and web browser/computer. This is particularly important during online transactions where sensitive data such as credit card information is transmitted over the internet.

Do I need an SSL certificate?

It is now advised that every website should have a SSL certificate. Traditionally, it was only recommended you have an SSL certificate if you are taking credit card information or login details on your website. However, as Google is now flagging all websites without an SSL certificate, even if they don’t take in this information, an SSL certificate is recommended on all websites.

How do I get an SSL certificate?

Letshost offers a variety of SSL certificates with a support team that completes installation from start to finish. Prices start from €89.99 + VAT annually.

Summary

Not only is it good business practice to protect customer’s personal data and build their trust, but now it’s essential for websites to have an SSL certificate, or face being penalised by Google. Online security is a global issue, and this will be seen as a welcomed move in the crackdown of cybercrime. If your website doesn’t already have an SSL certificate and you’d like to find out how to obtain one, visit LetsHost.ie now.
