Shared SSL certificate

All Fusion Professional, Business and Developer web hosting packages include a shared SSL certificate.

What is an SSL certificate?

SSL certificates are used to make sure data sent over the internet stays secure. They show your visitors that information they send you is secure. SSL certificates are commonly used to protect sensitive information like credit card or bank details.

SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. The system uses a third party, called a Certificate Authority, to identify the website a user is sending information to.

Our SSL certificates

When you buy a hosting package, we will automatically set up shared SSL for you. You will be able to access all areas of your website on one of the following URLs:
