SSL, which stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encodes the info which users submit on a website.

An SSL certificate will increase the security of your Internet site and will make it more appealing to customers, but besides the cost for the SSL, you need to spend more funds for a dedicated IP address, that's usually needed for the SSL installation.
