Why do I need an SSL certificate?

An SSL certificate is highly recommended for websites that want to reassure their online visitors that it is a legitimate entity, and that information passing between a website visitor's browser, and the web server, cannot be intercepted. For any business that is managing financial transactions or dealing with sensitive customer data, an SSL certificate is a must.
