What is an SSL Certificate?

An SSL certificate encrypts any data that travels between a website and its visitors, protecting sensitive information like passwords and credit card details. SSL certificates can also authenticate your website’s identity, building trust with users by proving that your site is legitimate.
When a customer interacts with your business’s website, for example, information is sent between the customer’s computer and the server where your site’s data lives. While both these locations might be secure, the problem arises when that data makes the trek over the internet from one end to the other. Any information the customer inputs to your site, including their personal and financial information, can be intercepted by bad actors.

How Do SSL Certificates Work?

Think about it this way: when a bank moves large amounts of money between locations, they use big armored vans and trained security guards. That’s what an SSL certificate can essentially do for your data. Your site’s SSL certificate encrypts any transferred information, so that anyone trying to intercept credit card information or passwords can’t read them.
When your site is SSL secured, customers can see that in a few ways. If you haven’t noticed it before, website URLs sometimes include an “https” or “https” at the beginning. That “s” in the “https” means that a site has SSL or another kind of data protection. Additionally, you might see a green or locked padlock proving that your internet browser agrees that this website is safe and that you are who you say you are. On the other hand, if a site is not secured with an SSL certificate, your browser will let you know loud and clear—often displaying a “Not Secure” warning in the address bar, or even displaying a full-page warning to avoid visiting the site.

Why you need an SSL certificate

SSL certificates are necessary for business websites today, if not all websites. Customers are more wary than ever about the information they send over the internet, and will click away from your site (before even landing on it) if they don’t feel secure. To put it more bluntly, if you’re asking people who visit your site to input any data, you’re kidding yourself if you don’t have SSL security.
But even if you aren’t requesting payment or personal information on your site, having an SSL certificate can still give your brand a credibility boost, since most browsers now display a “Not Secure” message warning for sites without one. Additionally, search engines like Google prioritize websites with SSL certificates in their rankings, which can increase your site’s visibility and bring in more traffic. By securing your website with an SSL, you’re not only protecting everyone’s data, you’re enhancing your online reputation and building trust.

Why get a Business Address with MODA Technologies?

We couldn’t imagine charging you for something that is almost a requirement for your site to function successfully on the internet. That’s why we offer free SSL certificates to all of our domain and hosting clients. If we didn’t, it would be like selling you a new house without locks on the front door. So what do you get with your free SSL certificate from MODA Technologies? We’re glad you asked.

Increased Trustworthiness

When your site has SSL protection, visitors to your website will trust you more. Customers, especially, are likely to simply turn back and try another company or resource if their browser alerts them that your site isn’t secure, and they won’t consider you a trustworthy resource.

Ability to Accept Payments

An SSL certificate makes it easy for you to accept payments from clients, customers, or patrons with ease. They’ll rest assured that their financial information is safe and encrypted, and you’ll feel secure knowing that your hard-earned payments are headed to the right place.

Security and Data Protection

SSL makes it highly unlikely that outsiders will be able to read information that your customers share while visiting your site. If you are asking customers to enter their personal or credit card information on your site, it’s your duty to make sure that data stays secure.

Identity Validation

Our SSL certificate doesn’t just protect customer data—it also confirms to your customer’s browser that your website really is you and not an impostor.

SEO Benefits

Our SSL security comes with the added bonus of boosting your SEO rankings on major search engines. When you don’t have an SSL certificate, search engines will (rightfully) consider your site as less trustworthy and secure, so they’ll push your site further down the list of results they show to internet browsers.

Legendary Support

Our customer support team is knowledgeable, friendly, and will know how to keep you and your site secure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every MODA Technologies domain includes:

  • An SSL certificate
  • A customizable parking page
  • Optional WHOIS privacy to keep your contact info private
  • No surprises pricing – your domain will renew at the same price as registration, with no unexpected price hikes.

We recommend it—especially if you want your business and domain name to match or be closely aligned. If you have a great name in mind for your business (and the domain is available), it’s best to strike while the iron’s hot.

There are a few ways to secure your business name. If you’re a sole proprietor, you can file DBA (doing business as) paperwork in your state, allowing you to legally operate under your desired company name.

If you just want to reserve your business name until you’re ready to launch, filing a name reservation form will buy you some time—usually up to 90 days.

Or, if you’re ready to form an LLC or corporation, you can lock down your business name by using it on your formation paperwork.

Securing your domain name is easy—use our domain name search at the top of this page to get started. If your first choice is taken, try out variations of your business name, including location words like “nyc” or short verbs like “get” until you find a domain that works. Register your domain with MODA Technologies—and be sure to add web hosting at checkout so you can get online fast.

Tip: When you hire MODA Technologies to start your LLC or corporation, we help you secure your business name and domain name at the same time. Just add a free trial of our Business Launchkit to your cart when you sign up for formation or registered agent service—and get a free domain for a year, plus professional email, web hosting, a business phone line, and more.

Starting a business from scratch might seem intimidating—but it’s actually pretty simple. Just start selling something—anything—and you have a business. But there are a few more steps you’ll want to take to really set yourself up for success. Our How to Start a Business Guide will walk you through all the details. And reach out to our team along the way—we’re always happy to help.

Most beginners and small businesses just starting out find that shared web hosting fits the bill. It offers enough bandwidth, storage, and memory for a small-to-medium website—and won’t break the bank. As your business grows, you might need more resources. That’s when many business owners upgrade to VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting, which gives you dedicated server space on a shared server. For maximum control and power, we recommend dedicated hosting, which is better for high-traffic websites and businesses needing an enterprise-level solution.

Need help launching your website? Sign up for MODA Technologies’s Registered Agent (RA), LLC, or Incorporation service to get started, and you’ll receive a free trial of our Business Launchkit. This includes shared WordPress hosting, easy-to-use templates, and 24/7 support. We get you online fast—with real human support whenever you need it.

We understand that when you’re starting a business, making sales is the top priority—and we agree.

But even in the early days, the way your business presents itself is also crucial. Using a business phone number and email address for your new venture not only keeps your work and personal lives separate (and helps you protect your privacy), it also tells your customers that they’re dealing with a professional.

With our Business Launchkit—part of our business formation and registered agent service at MODA Technologies—you get everything you need to launch your business, including a domain name, web hosting, business phone number, email address, and more. It’s free for the first 90 days and just $9 per month for each service after that. It’s the fastest (and simplest) way to get lines of communication for your business up and running.

The best part? There are no commitments or contracts. You can cancel anytime, or just keep the parts you need.
