WEBSITE SECURITY

SSL certificates for your UK website

HTTPS helps protect the connection between a visitor and your website. For a UK business site, choosing a certificate starts with the domains and applications you need to cover and the validation process you can complete. Confirm certificate availability, price and installation responsibilities for the service you need.

CHOOSE WITH CARE

The right certificate starts with your domain.

Review the hostnames, validation requirements and the service where the certificate will be installed.

Check the domains and validation needs

List the main domain, subdomains and any separate hostnames used by your website or application. Review the certificate type and validation requirements before ordering, and make sure the responsible person can complete any checks. A domain registration and a certificate are separate items with different renewal arrangements.

Plan installation and renewal

Agree who installs the certificate, tests the website and handles future renewal. Check redirects, embedded resources, forms and other customer journeys after HTTPS is enabled. Keep track of expiry dates and the access needed to replace the certificate without disrupting the service.

A certificate encrypts the connection; it does not by itself prove every claim made by a business or secure outdated application code. Review any SSL included with your hosting plan before buying a separate certificate, then contact the team with the domains and intended use.

A little clarity

Your questions, answered.

Does a certificate secure every part of my website?

A valid TLS certificate protects the connection for its covered hostnames. Your application, passwords, access controls, updates and backups still need appropriate care.

Which certificate covers subdomains?

Coverage depends on the certificate product and the exact names included. Ask the team to confirm the hostname list and validation requirements before ordering.

How do I choose the hostnames a certificate needs to cover?

List the exact domains and subdomains used by the website and connected services. Confirm coverage for the selected certificate before ordering.

Does a certificate include installation work?

Review the exact product and agreed service scope. Certificate issuance, validation and installation responsibilities should be clear before the order is placed.

What happens when a certificate expires?

A service needs a valid certificate for its covered hostnames. Keep renewal and deployment responsibilities organised, and test the actual public service after any replacement.

Can I use a certificate with an existing website?

Share the domain, hosting environment and coverage requirements so the correct product and installation route can be reviewed.
