READ ALL OF THIS BEFORE ORDERING YOUR CERTIFICATE

Installing an SSL certificate to your site must be done by the admin team at 2001 web and it quite an involved process. Please follow the how to below step by step.

About SSL Certificates

SSL certificates have to be ordered from an SSL issuing authority and are renewable yearly. These vary greatly in price but are NOT all the same. Some really cheap certificates you can find on thw web will not work with all browsers, which means when visitors try to access your site they will get certificate warnings, this is VERY BAD for your business image.

We will give you a link below to order a qulality certificate from Go Daddy. Their cerrtificates work in all browsers and are the cheapest RELIABLE SSL certificates available.

Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure we can get this done as quick as possible for you. Also note that the £25 per year charge from 2001 web is for setting up and installing your certificate it is not for the certificate itself. You will need to pay for that yourself each year at Go Daddy.

You will also require a dedicated IP address for your site to install SSL this will cost an extra £2 per month on your hosting bill. The extra £2 per month will start from the next time you pay your hosting bill.

Ordering your SSL Certificate From Go Daddy

If you do not have an account with go daddy already you will need to register with them once at their site.

Go daddy accept all major cards and Paypal

When you click the link below it will take you to the SSL order page, you need to order a standard SSL Certificate.

You can order your certificate for between 1 and 10 years at godaddy the longer the registration period the cheaper the yearly price.

A note here on installation fees from 2001 web, we will charge you £25 each time we install a certificate for you. In other words if you order for one year at godaddy then we will bill you £25 again next year to install your new certificate. If you order for two years then you will save £25 as we do not have to reinstall your certificate next year. It is entirely up to you how long you want your certificate to run when you buy it but the more years you choose at godaddy the more £25 install fees you will avoid.

Ok it is time to order your certificate. When you order go daddy will simply add an SSL credit to your account that is all you need to do we will take care of the complicated stuff for you once you have your SSL credit in your account.
