How to Update SSL Certificates

To keep website visitors secure, your site must provide an up-to-date secure socket layer, or SSL, certificate. Many website operators use either VeriSign or Windows Essential Business Server to update SSL certificates. SSL certificates allow users to connect securely to websites that use the Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol. This ensures that any information a user inputs or shares through a secure site remains encrypted between the user and the website. Updated SSL certificates are essential to maintaining your web visitors' secure data.
