Why Some Businesses Pay Someone Else to Handle SSL

Free SSL, included with Cyber Grapes WordPress Hosting, is enough for most small sites and requires no ongoing effort. Managed SSL exists for a different situation.

Who Actually Needs Managed SSL

Businesses using a premium SSL certificate outside of the free option included with WordPress Hosting, or businesses without the internal time to track installation and renewal dates, are the ones this fits.

The Risk of a Missed Renewal

An expired SSL certificate triggers a security warning in visitors’ browsers, which can scare away customers instantly, even if nothing else about the site changed.

What Managed SSL Actually Covers

Managed SSL Service handles installation and ongoing maintenance for premium certificates on Cyber Grapes WordPress or Web Hosting platforms, so renewal dates are never left to chance.

Where to Go Next

If your site already uses free SSL through WordPress Hosting, you do not need this. If you are managing a premium certificate on your own, it is worth the peace of mind.
