Do I need an SSL certificate?

Yes. An SSL certificate turns on HTTPS and the padlock in the browser, and browsers warn visitors when a site doesn’t have one. Every Next Wave Host plan includes a free SSL certificate. Online stores can add a premium certificate for extra coverage. See our security features and website add-ons.
