Everything you need to know about SSL Certificates and how to increase your online sales by providing security to your users and customers.
A matter of trust...
The more trust you generate among your customers and users, the more they will buy from you and recommend you. An SSL Certificate on your site will help you generate greater trust through two clear functions:
1. Protect the information that travels between the browser and the server where the website is hosted.
With SSL, information travels over the Internet through the secure communication protocol called SSL (Secure Socket Layer). This encrypts the information so that if it is intercepted by a hacker, it cannot be decrypted, and can only be interpreted by the two endpoints: the browser and the server.
2. Authenticate the identity of the website, its domain and the company or person behind it.
By issuing a certificate for a site and its domain, the Certificate Authorities (CA) assure visitors that it is authentic, real and trustworthy. Only a limited number of these certificate issuers are recognized by browsers worldwide: Symantec (formerly Verisign), Thawte, Geotrust, RapidSSL and Comodo among others.
Don't let the browser scare away your customers and users
When a website does not have an SSL Certificate and has a form where users, passwords or credit card numbers are entered, browsers show visitors a message indicating that the site Is not secure and suggest not entering the data.
Why is it convenient to secure a site with SSL?
Builds trust by protecting your users' data.
Visitors' sensitive information travels encrypted and safe from malicious hackers.
Make sure browsers don't scare away your visitors.
Without SSL, browsers display a message indicating that your site is "NOT SECURE"
Improve your site's ranking on Google.
In search results, sites with SSL are prioritized over those without it.
Types of SSL Certificate
Domain Validation (DV)
It only certifies your ownership of a domain. It's the most basic type and you can usually get it in a matter of a couple of hours since the CA will only verify that you have access to the domain.
Ideal for small business sites, landing pages or hosting applications for Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, etc.

Organization Validation (OV)
In addition to the domain, it certifies the authenticity of the Organization. A fraudulent site would not pass the controls of the CA. These will take their time to verify your data and that of the company before issuing the certificate.
The best option for medium and large companies. It is also ideal for online stores, intranets or SaaS applications.

Extended Validation (EV)
Offers the highest level of security and guarantees for your customers. The applicant must pass a thorough and strict investigation process by the CA to decide whether to issue the certificate.
This type of certificate is recommended for Banks, institutions, government, large companies and e-commerce portals.

Multiple Sub-Domains (WILDCARD)
There is also another type of SSL called Wildcard Certificate that allows you to protect multiple sub-domains (e.g.: tunegocio.com, blog.tunegocio.com, store.tunegocio.com, usuarios.tunegocio.com, etc). The others are only prepared to protect a single domain, in the forms tunegocio.com and www.tunegocio.com
