SSL certificate

DJ85 · 18 Oct 2021 at 20:55

I've recently designed a website, not that great at the moment but it has the basics for someone who's never done it before but I'm learning. I've been told to get a free SSL certificate but no idea where to start. I got my domain from 123reg and I used there website builder to build it. But they want £50 a Year for a certificate on top if all the extras there is as well, it builds up.
Any advice would be great thanks

Its for business use,
I did go to a few Web designers but they want upwards of £4-500 to build a website and add one for me. I'm sure I could manage myself

Go here, have a read. Hopefully your host allows it.

So you actually need SSL ?

I was told to get one so visitors trusted the site and its not flagged as unsafe etc
