SSL Certificates
Provide secure, encrypted communications between a website and an Internet browser. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, the protocol which provides encryption over the "WWW" or Internet
One of RSH Web's top priorities is providing the best, secure and trusted web hosting solutions. Our latest project has been working with cPanel for better security for all our web hosting customers. Our new cPanel includes an SSL certificate installed for all new domains, subdomains, and domains. If there is not an SSL certificate associated with newly added hosting accounts, cPanel will self-sign an Auto-SSL certificate, and install it for you.
What is AutoSSL?
AutoSSL is a feature designed to automate the process of obtaining and installing SSL certificates for websites. By integrating with hosting platforms and control panels, AutoSSL streamlines the deployment of secure, encrypted connections. This automation not only enhances security by preventing certificate expiration but also simplifies the management process for users, reducing the need for manual intervention and technical expertise. Overall, AutoSSL helps maintain a secure browsing environment and promotes trustworthiness for both site owners and visitors. Perhaps more exciting is the fact that your coverage will never lapse. At expiration time, a New SSL Certificate is automatically installed.
SSL SECURITY EXPLAINED
What Does a Free SSL Certificate Protect?
A free SSL certificate enables HTTPS and encrypts information transmitted between your website and its visitors. It helps protect passwords, contact form entries, payment details, and other sensitive data while it travels between a browser and your web server.
What Your Free SSL Certificate Includes
- Encrypted HTTPS connections
- Automatic SSL installation through cPanel AutoSSL
- Automatic certificate renewal
- Protection for information transmitted through your website
- Browser recognition of a secure HTTPS connection
- SSL coverage included with active hosting
What an SSL Certificate Does Not Do
SSL protects information while it is being transmitted, but it does not remove malware, repair vulnerable software, block every attack, or replace complete website security.
Strong website protection also requires updated software, secure passwords, malware scanning, firewall protection, backups, and ongoing monitoring.
An SSL certificate protects data moving between a visitor and your website. AutoSSL makes that protection easier by installing and renewing the certificate automatically.

SSL Certificates and Web Hosting
SSL certificates are essential for securing data transmitted between a user's browser and a web server by encrypting the connection, which helps protect sensitive information such as login credentials and payment details. In the context of web hosting, SSL certificates are provided as part of RSH Web's hosting packages. Implementing an SSL certificate not only enhances website security but also boosts search engine rankings and fosters user trust, making it a critical component of modern web hosting services.
SSL is often used for sending credit card information, banking information, private emails, or just sending private information. You will know when you are on an SSL connection because your Web Browser will have the address prefix https:// in front of the URL.

SSL F.A.Q.'s
What is an SSL Certificate?
An SSL certificate is coding on your web server that provides security for online communications. When a web browser contacts your website, the SSL certificate enables an encrypted connection. It is kind of like sending a letter certified through the post office.
How can a SSL help my website?
SSL certificates inspire trust. Websites without SSL make it possible for hackers to intercept and read sensitive information that is being transmitted. This is called a man-in-the-middle attack and you will not know it happened until it is too late.
What forms of payments to you accept?
We accept all major credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. As well as PayPal, Stripe, Apple Pay, Google Pay also Samsung Pay, Giropay, EPS, Klarna, and Bancontact. If you know of a form of payment you would like us to accept please let us know
What does browser compatibility mean?
When a browser or operating system encounters an SSL or code signing certificate, it checks to make sure that the certificate is valid and trusted. An SSL certificate is trusted if it is signed by a "trusted" or pre-installed root certificate.
How can I tell if a web page is secure?
The Quick Answer - Look At Your Address Bar
You browser will confirm that it has made a secure SSL connection to a server in one (or more) of the following ways:
A web address using “HTTPS” (The extra “S”means it’s a secure connection.
Secure websites also show a closed padlock icon next to the address which you can click on for security details
And most Browsers will show warning signs when the connection is NOT secure. Red padlock, a padlock that is not closed, a line going through the Website's address, or a triangle on top of the padlock emblem.
