insecure to secure, from ignorance to knowledgeable

Thanks Kyles for always backing up. I am always very grateful to join the WA community. Before I am much more on surfing using internet but I didn’t care how safe the website was that I’ve been visited. I have been victimized by internet scams often because I don’t know about this and I don’t even care to check the address bar like from http:// to https://. Now I learned something only at the WA platform and what is amazing SSL is made available for the starter. Awesome! I can’t imagine how lucky I joined WA. My learning at WA make me feel more confident I am taking myself away from possibilities of fraud and internet scams. While this feature SSL available to the community, I am very optimistic that I will be able to grow my internet business safely. My personal opinion, at the WA community, you learn something you can immediately apply what you’ve learned and this WA platform is a helpful tools and guiding you in more appropriate way doing internet matters. Now another feature SSL which I didn’t care about before but not knowing how important it is why we need an SSL certificate?

SSL certificates became an absolute necessity in the hosting industry nowadays. There are two major benefits of using an SSL certificate:

  • Encryption of sensitive data like credit card numbers and personal information.
  • Consumer confidence. Your website visitors will know that their data is protected by a secure connection, and your website is vouched for by a trusted Certificate Authority.
