Small Business and SSL

Secure Your Site and Inspire Trust Online

Every small business has the potential to grow big on the web. You have the opportunity to reach more customers, in more places with your products and services. To create a web presence that is both secure and trusted, add a Thawte® SSL Certificate to your site and display the Thawte® Trusted Site Seal.

Keep Your Online Business Private

SSL certificates keep online interactions private even though they travel across the public Internet. An SSL certificate is a bit of code on your web server. When a web browser contacts your secured web site, the SSL certificate enables an encrypted connection. It’s kind of like sealing a letter in an envelope before sending it through the mail.

Know Who to Trust

SSL certificates inspire trust in your web site and your business. When you request a Thawte SSL Certificate, we validate your information and issue a unique certificate to you. When users visit your secured web site, they see that your identity has been validated by Thawte. As a result, your customers will know that the site they’re interacting with is actually yours.
