SSL Certificates for Schools

A secure connection is vital for any school website that requests or stores personal information such as contact details or payment information. SSL/TLS is the globally recognised standard for secure data encryption between server and browser.

What is an SSL certificate?

Increase your sales, protect visitors’ personal information and encourage confidence in your business with an SSL certificate.

An SSL/TLS certificate is displayed for websites in the forms of a padlock icon in the address bar, a green bar, and a URL that starts with https://. Behind the scenes, this means that any information passed between the server and a visitor’s web browser is securely encrypted.

How do I activate my SSL certificate?

After purchasing it, you’ll get an email to the administrator email address for your domain to confirm your certificate. Simply click the link to confirm your registration.

Should I get a Free SSL, Standard SSL or an Extended SSL?

Research from Verisign has shown that up to 93% of visitors are put off buying if a website doesn’t have the expected ‘green bar’ (only available with our Extended SSL). If you’re serious about your business, especially if you run an ecommerce store, an Extended SSL is the way to go. If payments aren’t a central part of your business but you still request or private details, such as login information, a Free or Simple SSL with its accompanying padlock is fine.

Do I need web hosting to buy an SSL?

An SSL certificate is attached to your hosting package rather than your domain name. For this reason, you’ll need to host your website with us even if your domain name is registered elsewhere. You can take a look at our powerful yet affordable hosting packages on our Web Hosting page.

How do I get help setting up my SSL certificate?

Setting up your SSL is a quick and straightforward process, but if you have any questions or aren’t sure what to do next, please get in touch and we’ll help you out.

How do I activate my free SSL?

Our hosting package comes with a free wildcard SSL certificate, enabling you to use the more secure HTTPS protocol to keep your site users secure. To activate the SSL, you’ll need to make sure you’ve pointed the domain name to our Google UK infrastructure nameservers.

If you are only pointing just an A Record, you will need to buy a Premium SSLs certificate to get a HTTPS encrypt protocol. Once the SSL Certificate has been activated, it will take up to 30 minutes to secure your website. This is due to the changes needed to be made on our load balancers and CDN.
