SSL Certificate
An SSL certificate is a small file that lets your site encrypt the connection between a visitor's browser and your server. It is what turns http into the padlocked https, so passwords, card numbers, and form data travel privately.
Why does an SSL certificate matter to your business?
Without it, browsers now flash a "Not secure" warning that scares customers away, and search engines rank you lower. With it, forms and payments are protected and visitors see the padlock they have learned to trust. It is a baseline, not a luxury.
At Nabee, SSL is part of every build and covered by the Maintenance Plan — including renewals, which are easy to forget and embarrassing to let expire. One partner keeps the certificate valid so the padlock never quietly disappears.
A concrete example
Any product that takes a payment or a login — like Toree handling bookings — needs SSL so that sensitive data is encrypted in transit. It is the difference between a private conversation and a postcard anyone can read.

Common questions
- Do I need an SSL certificate?
- Yes. Every modern site needs one, or browsers warn visitors and search engines rank you lower. Nabee includes it by default.
- Does an SSL certificate cost extra?
- At Nabee it is included and kept renewed under the Maintenance Plan, so there is no separate bill or expiry to track.
- Is SSL the same as https?
- The certificate is what makes https possible. When it is installed and valid, your address shows https and the padlock.
