FAQ

What kind of SSL Certificate do you offer?

We currently offer a GeoTrust QuickSSL certificate, the simplest and most common type of GeoTrust SSL certificate. It offers a balance of features and ease of use that’s just right for most of our customers, including:

  • Over 99% browser compatibility, plus most mobile device browsers
  • Strong 256-bit encryption and 2048-bit root
  • Automatic authentication and issuance in just minutes
What are the benefits of an SSL?

There are two main benefits: First, it acts like an online ID card, proving that your site has been verified by a certificate authority. Second, it creates a secure, encrypted connection (a Secure Sockets Layer) between your web server and visitors’ browsers, ensuring that any information they send can’t be seen or read by anyone else. Which ultimately means your customers will feel a lot more comfortable doing business with you, because they know that their personal information is in good hands.

How do I install it?

For most (mt) services, we have AccountCenter tools that install SSL certificates automatically. If you’re not eligible for automatic installation, or if you’d rather do it yourself, please see this KnowledgeBase article for easy, step by step instructions.

Can I get a security seal on my website?

Yes. Our certificates are compatible with the GeoTrust True Site Seal. Find instructions for installing the seal here.

Can anyone purchase an SSL?

Yes, anyone with a current (mt) account can purchase an SSL certificate from us.
