Everything you need to know about SSL (including why it is important).
Google is giving some ranking juice to sites that are secured with SSL, but what exactly is SSL and why should the domain name industry care about it? Today I talk with SSL expert Kevin Johnson from The SSL Store to get a crash course in SSL. Kevin explains the two main functions of SSL, whether a site like Domain Name Wire (that doesn’t sell stuff) should get one, how much work it is to add SSL to your site, and the difference between free and expensive SSL. Plus: a recap of the news including Ted Cruz’s crusade, ICA’s board and CentralNic’s numbers.
