SSL CERTIFICATE FAQs

Common questions about SSL certificates

Common questions about SSL certificates

An SSL certificate enables HTTPS and helps encrypt data exchanged between your website and visitors’ browsers. It does not replace protection against malware, vulnerable software or unauthorised access.

Why does my website show “Not secure” in the browser?

Browsers may display “Not secure” when a page uses HTTP instead of HTTPS. Installing a valid SSL certificate and configuring your website to use HTTPS helps resolve this. Certificate errors can also trigger security warnings, so purchasing a certificate alone is not enough—it must be correctly installed and configured.

Does SSL help my website’s SEO?

Google uses HTTPS as a ranking signal. Enabling HTTPS supports your website’s SEO, but it does not guarantee higher rankings. Buying a more expensive certificate does not provide an extra SEO advantage.

Can Host IT help install the certificate?

Share your domain name and hosting details. We’ll review the installation requirements and confirm the scope, access needed and any applicable charges before proceeding.
