If you are a free host reseller your future clients will need SSL if...

	They have a login or signup page on their site;
	They have an online shopping cart and/or would like to accept credit cards;
	They are transmitting sensitive information (passwords, addresses, IDs, birth dates);
	They are liable to privacy laws;
	They want to increase the trust in their online presence;

It is really convenient to sell SSL certificates via your reseller hosting store, since they are an essential part of most websites. In this way you can provide your customers with all they need for the creation and management of their sites - from domains and flexible hosting plans, to website builders and other handy tools, as well as SSL protection for their sites and users. It's in your advantage to have your clients buying everything they need from one place - not only they will buy more products, but will also manage them more easily from their Hosting Control Panels and will stay loyal to your brand.

What is the procedure when a browser accesses a secure website (using SSL):

The SSL certificate is a short code placed on your web server that is providing security for online transitions. When a browser or any web client accesses your secured website, the SSL establishes an encrypted connection.

SSL certificates also increase the users' trust because every SSL certificate is containing identity information. When a SSL certificate is requested, a third party (such as our partner GeoTrust) verifies the organization's identity and provides a unique certificate including that information. That is called the authentication procedure of a certificate.
