Why does my domain need SSL?

Without an SSL certificate, your site is flagged as “Not secure” and loses trust and Google ranking.

Data encryption

All data between users and your site (passwords, payments, forms) is encrypted and protected from eavesdropping.

Better SEO ranking

Google treats HTTPS as a ranking signal — secure sites rank higher.

Visitor trust

A green padlock removes the “Not secure” warning and lifts conversions.

Browser requirement

Modern browsers show a red warning for sites without HTTPS.

Issue a certificate in 5 simple steps

The whole flow runs inside the Hostino panel — no terminal, no complex commands.
