SSL on eDirectory Hosting
An SSL Certificate provides an encrypted connection between your browser and the server, ensuring your site is secure. SSL is especially important for certain features, such as visitor detection and eCommerce transactions, as it meets the security requirements of modern web browsers and some payment gateways.
SSL Included in Your Subscription
As part of your eDirectory subscription, SSL is already included. When you update your domain, we automatically install the SSL certificate on your website at no extra charge. This ensures your site remains secure and compliant with modern security standards, without requiring you to worry about SSL management.
What is an SSL Certificate?
SSL Certificates are small data files that bind a cryptographic key to an organization’s details, enabling the HTTPS protocol on your site. This secures connections, protecting sensitive data such as credit card transactions and login information. With SSL installed, your site will display a secure padlock in the browser's address bar, enhancing user trust and security.
What Happens When You Change Your Domain?
Whenever you change your domain on eDirectory, we automatically take care of the SSL installation for you. This ensures that your site remains secure, with the HTTPS protocol activated without any additional steps required from you.
SSL for Self-Hosted Websites (Exclusive to Source License Owners)
If you are self-hosting your eDirectory site, please contact your hosting provider for SSL setup. Each server may have different procedures for SSL installation, and your hosting provider's support team is best equipped to assist you.
Conclusion
With SSL included in your eDirectory subscription, we ensure that your site remains secure and compliant with modern standards at no additional cost to you. If you ever have any questions about your SSL or domain changes, feel free to reach out to our support team, and we'll be happy to assist.
