Various Changes And Enhancements For Managed SSL

1. ‘Managed Domains & Profile’ page

Keeping our clients in mind, we have updated ‘Managed Domains and Profiles’ page to give them a more intuitive and easier interface. It will make it easier for our clients to manage their profiles as well as domains.

2. ‘Managed Domains’ Page

To display all the domains of a particular profile, a new page ‘Managed Domain’ has been created. This will help the user in managing their domains directly within a specific profile. This page will provide a more effective way to view and access domain information for any individual profile. Various things that the user can go through a ‘Managed Domain’ page are:

•    Set permissions for a domain to control:

o    Who can place orders

o    Approval of orders

o    Revoke certificates at the domain level

•    Renewal

•    Verification

•    View status of all domains

This is important for website security too as only authorized and right employee can have access to domains within their scope of work.

3. ‘Domain order History’ page

With new Domain Order History page, you get a filtered list option (for all the orders for domains within an account) with the help of which you can view all the domains within an organization’s entire account. This filterable list can help the user in various things, such as:

•    Setting permission

•    Removing Domain

•    Viewing the status of all domains

In a nutshell, Domain Order History page helps a user in reviewing the history and status of all the domains with the use of a filterable list and allows them to make a decision accordingly.

4. Enhanced Automated Domain Validation option

An organization can contain multiple profiles in a Managed SSL account. So, it is possible that different departments or even companies may exist under one SSL account. It is important to understand that each of these sub-divisions may have their own profile. These profiles normally contain unique enterprise data tied to a particular set of domains. Prior to the ‘Automated Domain Validation’ option, each of these organization profiles was manually verified. Not only profiles but every domain added to these profiles were also manually verified. This option has reduced the effort that was earlier put in for verification.

The changes and enhancements made for Managed SSL have proven to save a lot of time. It has eased the task of managing, verifying and renewing SSL certificates. With just a few clicks these tasks can be done easily without investing much time in locating the information related to domain or certificates.

Boost Your Website's SEO & Built Client Trust With SSL

What Is SSL

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain 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.

How SSL Will Help You To Boost Website's SEO

SSL certificates can do significantly more than simply protect information. They likewise ensure your site will rank higher in the most well-known search engines. Google needs all sites to have SSL certificates, and they've attempted no secret of their efforts to reward consistent sites as previously mentioned. In 2014, Google began giving HTTPS sites a modest boost in search results, and after that in December 2015, Google even conceded that they give search priority to these more secure sites.

With the mounting pressure to build SSL coverage, all things considered, sites with SSL will continue to benefit from Google’s search algorithms. This implies, even for simple sites that don't ask for client information, having an SSL certificate will help your site be found in inquiries all the more organically.

The past few years, Google has likewise particularly championed mass selection of SSL. So as to convince site owners to adopt SSL, Google completes two things: One, it considers the presence of a SSL certificate as a ranking signal. Two, it offers a positive designation in the address bar of the Google Chrome browser for sites using SSL.

In the meantime, if a webpage does not have SSL, the Google Chrome program will order the site as potentially unsafe. For e-commerce websites, when a client presents their own data to make a buy, they particularly need to believe that the transaction is protected, and their own information is secure. In fact, websites' responsibility of securing client information is important to the point that Google has been effectively encouraging sites to include SSL insurance. Since July of a year ago, Google presently shows security warnings for e-commerce business websites that lack an SSL certificate. The Google Chrome program demonstrates "site not secure" when a site needs SSL security.

Build Trust With Customers Through SSL

Maintaining trust with your clients might be the absolute best reasons to have SSL certificates on your sites. Indeed, even sites that don't require credit cards or the exchange of financial information, trust is still inconceivably important. SSLs is a reassurance to clients, and thus, could expand your blog or membership site’s believability. How, would you inquire? Each time a visitor enjoys a blog leaves a remark, or just logs in, they are sharing conceivably sensitive data. An SSL is a simple method to show that information is kept secure and private.

As mentioned above, HTTPS sites (particularly those with the green bar visuals) additionally help promise visitors that they're on a high-value, safe and well-known website, and not a sketchy, potentially fraudulent site. By the day's end, the more you increase the client's trust in your online business, the almost certain your online business will be successful.

How Extended Validation(EV) & Wildcard Certificates Provide Multiple Layer Of Online Protection

SSL Certificate acts as a backbone of the Internet security system. It provides an encrypted link between a browser and a server, which helps in transferring or sharing data in encrypted form to keep the data integral and secure from falling in the wrong hands and from being misused. There are many types of SSL certificates available in the market, but it depends upon the requirement of the applicant, what level of SSL certificate would suit him the best. Higher the security required, higher the level of SSL certificate is needed. Various SSL certificates are divided into two groups on the basis of validation level and secured domains and sub-domains:

Validation level

Domain Validation Certificate

Organization Validation Certificate

Extended Validation Certificate

Domain and sub-domain

Single Domain Certificate

Wildcard Certificate

Multi-domain Certificate

In this article, we will discuss Extended Validation Certificate (EV) and Wildcard certificate and how these certificates provide multiple layers of online protection. 

EV SSL certificate:  EV stands for Extended Validation Certificate and it involves strict selection process of validation to make sure that the entity requesting for this certificate is legal and genuine. If a website is secured with a certified EV SSL certificate, it will be indicated by a Green colored address bar. Similar to Wildcard Certificate, Extended Validation Certificate is also used for websites prefixed with https:// and also for software that verifies legal entity, which controls the software package or website itself. To obtain EV Certificate, CA (Certification Authority) will verify the identity of the applicant and if the information provided by the entity is correct then the certificate is issued. Verification here is very important because EV certificate provides a higher level of security.

Wildcard certificate: If you own a domain and multiple subdomains, and you want to secure them all, instead of buying a certificate for every single domain and subdomain, you can buy Wildcard certificate, which will secure an unlimited number of subdomains but to a specific level. Along with providing security to multiple domains and subdomains, it will also save your time and money, which you would have wasted in buying and installing multiple certificates for every single domain and subdomain.

Technically, we can say that a Wildcard Certificate is a public key certificate and it can be used with numerous subdomains of a domain. The primary use of this certificate is to secure website prefixed with https://. A single Wildcard certificate works for your convenience and saves a lot of time, but it also protects or secures the main domain as well as its subdomain at the same time.
