Questions people ask

Is SSL really free with hosting?

Yes. Every web hosting and WordPress hosting plan includes a free SSL certificate that renews automatically.

Do I need a paid SSL certificate?

Most sites do not. A paid OV or EV certificate is worth it if you need to show a verified company name, for example on a payment or login page.

Will you install it for me?

Yes. We install and test every certificate we supply, including on servers we do not host.
