The Kiwi Web Hosting Company™ can supply and install Comodo secure certificates for your website. Comodo SSL certificates are fully validated, provide 128 bit encryption, and are recognised by over 99% of browsers.

Why a Secure Certificate?

If your website collects sensitive information from your visitors, such as personal information or credit card details, then you should offer a secure interface to transfer the information. A secure certificate for your website will provide your visitors with the knowledge that any information being transmitted is safe from any outside interception. Besides just encrypting data sent between the visitor and the server, secure certificates also validate the identity of the company and/or individual running the site. Consequently, should there be any dispute regarding a transaction, the customer has confidence in the validity of the certificate's contact information.

What is SSL?

Secure Sockets Layer, SSL, is the standard security technology for creating an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browser remains private and integral. SSL is an industry standard and is used by millions of websites in the protection of their online transactions with their customers. In order to be able to generate an SSL link, a web server requires an SSL Certificate. InstantSSL is such a Certificate, and when installed, can be used to create secure links to protect transactions, passwords, personal details, etc.

Building Trust

Unfortunately, the online world is tainted with mistrust. Spam, viruses, and internet scams have created a justifiably paranoid population of internet users. Many users realise that it's not wise to submit credit card information or other personal details through non-secure sites. A secure certificate is a critical aspect in building trust between your website and its visitors.

Integrity Guaranteed

To guarantee your online customers that your website is safe to do business with, Comodo certificates also come with a specified warranty. So, your customers have the assurance that if they are ripped off, they will be able to be reimbursed for the fraudulent transaction by Comodo. The value of the warranty depends on the type of certificate, and ranges from US$10,000 to US$250,000.

Comparison

Comodo certificates are considerably less expensive than their Verisign and Thawte counterparts. Despite the price inequality, we can assure you that Comodo certificates provide the same level of security and virtually identical browser compatibility. For more information see the Which SSL website.
