What are HTTPS and SSL?
HTTPS is the secured version of standard unsecured HTTP protocol. These protocols are used to transfer data between your website and your visitor's browser & the 'S' at the end of HTTPS means that data transfer is secured and encrypted.
The SSL Certificate is a small file that binds a cryptographic key to your website. When the SSL certificate is installed on your website hosting account, it activates the green lock in the browser's address bar and activates the https protocol, allowing secure data transfer from your website and your website visitor's browser.

Free SSL Certificate: FAQ
Does the paid SSL certificate offer stronger encryption than the free SSL certificate?
Absolutely not, free SSL certificates offer the same level of security and encryption offered by any paid SSL certificate. We use the same free SSL that we install on our clients' websites on 2MHost.com website. In 2022, we think that any hosting provider that markets and sells SSL certificates is scamming their clients.
Does it require any experience to set up an SSL certificate on my website?
No, the free SSL certificate will be installed and activated on your website automatically, you do not have to do anything. The free SSL certificate gets renewed automatically every 90 days.
Does SSL certificate protect my website files and database?
No, HTTPS and SSL only protect data transfer by encrypting it between the website (server) and the browser (user).
HTTPS and SSL will not protect your hosted files or your computer, SSL will not protect your website if you uploaded files that already contain malware and will not protect your website against hackers' attacks if you are using an outdated version of open-source software like Wordpress, Themes or Plugins.
Is 2Mhost going to remind me when the SSL certificate is due renewal? How much is the SSL renewal rate?
2MHost will handle the SSL setup and renewal, there is no need to remind you and there is nothing to do from your end. Both SSL setup and renewal are 100% free.
