    SSL Certificates

    5 steps to consider if you manually install your SSL certificate.

    1. Request the SSL

    Specify your domain name and the type of web server that’s hosting your site.

    2. Verify your SSL

    Then verify that you control the domain — verification depends on the type of certificate and web server.

    3. Download your SSL

    Download your primary and intermediate certificates from the SSL dashboard.

    4. Redirect HTTP

    Once installed, redirect your visitors to the secured (HTTPS) version of your site.

    5. Check Installation

    Enter your URL into a browser. Look for the padlock icon before your URL, if it’s there, you’ve completed installation and your site is SSL secure.

    More reasons to get a DCHost SSL Certificate.

    Stronger brand identity.

    Our premium certificates help increase user confidence by showing you’ve secured your true identity online after being validated by an industry-recognized Certificate Authority. So, your SSL certificate indicates to customers that your organization is committed to protecting their data and online experience.

    “Not Secure.” Not good.

    When visitors type a URL or follow a link to a secure website that doesn’t have an SSL, that site is immediately flagged as “Not Secure.” And that scares potential customers away. But when you have a DCHost SSL certificate, any potential “Not Secure” warning goes away – for as long as you have the SSL certificate. And that’s a good thing.

    Increased SEO ranking.

    Search engines heavily favor https-encrypted websites and will push them higher in search results. That vastly increases the likelihood customers will find you.

    Compliance with regulation standards.

    When you buy an SSL certificate, it provides the strongest protection for online businesses, including standards and regulations such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, HITECH, GDPR and more.

    Customers will trust you.

    And that’s important because trust is the cornerstone of SSL protocol – indicative of strict validation guidelines. Our SSL certificates protect sensitive customer data on your site.

    Safe mobile and online payment systems.

    Give your customers the safe and secure online payment options they prefer — and keep them shopping throughout the checkout process. To ensure this, get an SSL certificate, the industry-standard for end-to-end encryption protocol to thwart hackers from getting at your customers' data.

    How SSL certificates work.

    First, the SSL agreement.

    When a visitor enters an SSL-protected website, your SSL certificate automatically creates a secure, encrypted connection with their browser. Your site is most secure when SSL is deployed on all pages and subdomains.

    Now you're good to go.

    All information passing to and from your website is now encrypted, protecting your sensitive data.

    The padlock icon appears.

    Once the connection is complete, a padlock icon and https prefix appear in the visitor’s browser bar to show visitors to your website they’re safe to browse, shop, email you, subscribe to your mailing list, etc. And if there was a Not Secure tag before, poof now it’s gone.

    FAQ


    What is Shared Hosting?

    Shared Hosting is one of the most popular hosting packages because it provides an affordable way to get your website online. Shared Hosting works by allowing multiple users to share space on a single server maintained by the hosting provider (DCHost). A Shared Hosting package can include multiple offers or combinations of features as offered by their hosting provider. DCHost Shared Hosting is perfect for blogging, hobbies and small business websites.


    What are Shared Hosting Benefits?

    What is the difference between Shared vs WordPress Hosting?

Any website hosted through DCHost automatically has WordPress installed and ready to use.

    When you have a Shared Hosting package you are one of multiple users hosting their website on a web server.

Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting provides more space and bandwidth to manage a higher influx of traffic to your website.

Users have a much higher degree of control with VPS Hosting so you can customize your control configuration as you’d like.
