They initiate and maintain secure connections between servers and clients.Do you need an SSL certificate? An SSL certificate provides protection against phishing and eavesdropping attempts. It offers automatic authentication of a website. This means that any sensitive information is encrypted during transmission.

Why Linko Focuses on SSL

When SSL certificates are not included on a web server, this means that connections are unsecured. Hence, hackers can intercept the messages between the client and server. Furthermore, the unencrypted messages will appear in plain text.

By installing an SSL certificate on your website, the client can only decrypt messages using a session key. A secure connection gives your company and site credibility.

To ensure that your site is the preferred choice among others, Linko makes it a point to give you and your customers peace of mind. That’s why Linko’s suite of services include SSL certification.
