SSL Certificates
Which stands for Secure Socket Layer, is an industry-standard way of passing sensitive information between computers. SSL is often used to securely transfer credit card numbers and other information across the Internet. Developed by Netscape, SSL is also referred to as Netscape Encryption. SSL binds a person's or a computer's identity to a pair of electronic keys. These keys can be used to encrypt and digitally "sign" information to prove its authenticity. In order to complete an SSL connection a digital SSL Certificate is required. Hosting 4 Less offers two options for your SSL Certificate requirements.Hosting 4 Less offers you two SSL Certificate options: (Shared & Domain).
Shared SSL Certificate
Hosting 4 Less provides a shared SSL secure server so your customers can enter their credit card or other payment information online in confidence knowing that their information will be sent securely in an encrypted format, which prevents others from seeing their information.
This solution is available for all of our Ecommerce Hosting Plans. Using the Hosting 4 Less shared certificate will save you the cost of purchasing your own certificate - a savings of between $125 - $350! However, if you have already ordered your own Digital ID, you can use our shared certificate while you wait for yours to be processed. Use of Hosting 4 Less's SSL Certificate is included on all Ecommerce Plans for FREE!

Fully owned roots. GeoTrust owns all of its roots, and as a result, all of our certificates offer the highest level of stability.

After re-validating certificate information online, the new certificate is issued immediately and is valid from the date of reissue until the original expiration date.
Site seal. The QuickSSL Premium site seal allows your customers to identify and confirm that your web site is using a leading SSL Certificate. The seal resides on your web pages, identifying your site as genuine, authentic and validated by an independent third- party.
Competitive trade-in program. GeoTrust provides a simple way to upgrade from another vendor's certificate or transition multiple certificates from disparate certificate vendors. The competitive trade-in program allows you to retain the full value of existing certificate investments, by adding the remaining validity period of any active vendor certificates to your new GeoTrust certificates — up to 12 additional free months depending on when your current certificate expires.
