Hello Friends,

What is HTTPS/SSL Update...?

HTTPS stands for "Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure", most commonly known as HTTP over SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, which is standard security technology.

You can move your website from HTTP to HTTPS address by installing SSL certificate. Just you need to decide what type of SSL certificate is suited to your business.

When SSL certificate installed on your web server all your communications between web browser and web server are authenticated & encrypted.
