That’s wrong, so we complained to the friendly folks at the post office. It seems that one day they mixed up our mail with another company’s mail (the other company also has “Tiger” in its name). They assure us it won’t happen again — if you sent us a letter and it was returned, please resend it to the same address and contact us so we know that a payment is on the way.

What’s an SSL certificate? It activates the “padlock” icon for your site in a Web browser, showing that the connection is encrypted for security. You should use an SSL certificate if your visitors type sensitive data such as usernames, passwords or credit card numbers, because it ensures that “hackers” can’t intercept that data.

What’s changed?

SSL certificates need to be “signed” by a company that’s trusted by all the popular browser manufacturers. Until recently, only a few of these companies existed, meaning they could charge a premium for their service. Even with bulk discounts, the best price we could offer our customers was $99.

The SSL certificate market has changed a lot in the last couple of years, though. We’ve evaluated several other companies, and we’ve chosen to offer AlphaSSL certificates from GlobalSign at a remarkably lower price: just $19.

(SSL certificates also require a dedicated IP address, which is included at no extra charge in our Gold and Platinum plans. Even if you need to upgrade from our Silver plan, the new price still saves you a lot of money.)

We’ve tested the AlphaSSL certificates extensively (on our own secure Webmail pages) to make sure they work just as well as the old certificates and offer the same level of security. They do.

AlphaSSL certificates have a couple of other advantages, too:

  • They can work with both the www and non-www versions of your site (such as “www.example.com” and “example.com”) at no extra charge.
  • They include a clickable “security seal” you can place on your Web site for visitors to click to validate your Web site’s certificate. Our previous provider charged an extra $30 for that.

Ready to sign up?

See our support page for full details on using SSL certificates, including other available options like self-signed certificates.

You can easily order a certificate through our “My Account” control panel, and it will usually be installed within one business day.
