An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a digital certificate that provides authorisation for a website and enables any connection to be encrypted and protected. Essentially an SSL provides a secure environment for you and any visitors to your site. Without an SSL your customers will see a ‘not secure’ message in their browser which may result in lost orders. Having an SSL is also a ranking factor, so it will improve your organic search engine rankings.

If you are hosted with Sellerdeck, we will inform you if you exceed your bandwidth limit and check to see if it was a one-off or if you need to upgrade your package. If the bandwidth limit is exceeded and is in excess of the next tier, then this will be subject to a over usage fee. Ultimately, we would advise that you review your bandwidth usage and consider upgrading where appropriate.
