I am getting ready to set up my first e-Commerce project, and I need to do it economically. I want to install a SSL certificate on my website for secure communication. What should I look for while selecting a SSL certificate provider? Which cost effective options are available for my needs?

If customer payments are being processed by a third party provider such as PayPal, you will not need an SSL Certificate.  However, if your customer transactions are being processed through e-commerce, an SSL Certificate is a must.  Browser compatibility and browser ubiquity are the factors that must be checked together with the encryption needs before selecting a SSL certificate provider. Different certification authorities like RapidSSL, Thawte and others with high browser compatibility and browser ubiquity have great pricing options. Their services can be sought to ensure a secure web connection and increase your e-commerce stability and you could find some good pricing options at SSL Star for your consideration.

While we have only touched on a few SSL certificate providers here, there are potentially hundreds of different SSL certificates available on the market. This can be potentially confusing and difficult to navigate, but the general rule of thumb here is to use a trusted certificate authority and you can’t go wrong.

 

A higher price doesn’t necessarily mean a certificate is better, or any more secure for that matter, so be sure to select something that suits your business needs at the right price for you. Re sellers are a good option if you’re on a budget, because you can secure a certificate from a highly trusted certificate authority but at a much lower price.
