: Choosing SSL certificates in the UK Recently Google announced that 50% of websites are secure. They have also been rumbling about demoting non-secure sites in the search rankings if they're not
Recently Google announced that 50% of websites are secure. They have also been rumbling about demoting non-secure sites in the search rankings if they're not https.
So, how does one go about choosing a good and reasonably priced certificate issuer ? I've searched for online guides for this and most seem to be simply sites promoting one or two 'brands' of certificates. There also seem to be many 'resellers' and I don't want to choose one who's going to be going out of business.
Any help greatly appreciated...
(I realise that SSL like much of the web is global but a UK company would be better as all of my sites are based in the UK - actually, does that even make a difference?)

I depends what type of cert you want but if you want a basic SSL cert most of the major SSL issuers provide basic certs for around about 20STG. (I'm trying not to get into the opinion and recommendation side of things here but they are much of a muchness for basic certs). Also might be worth checking with your hosting provider who often provide certificates and will setup and install them for you as well as part of the purchase process.
Well worth checking out also now is Lets Encrypt who provide free SSL certs. Many control panels now have the ability to generate and install Lets Encrypt certificates as an option in them. This depends on your hosting provider/plan.
Definitely worth moving to SSL for a lot of reasons not least the one you mention, Google definitely is pushing for it (if not yet penalizing it).
