You’ve probably noticed the little padlock icon next to a website’s URL—this signals that SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is in place. In today’s digital world, free SSL hosting in New Zealand isn’t just a perk, it’s essential. At HostMidas, we make it standard across all plans.
What Is SSL, and Why Should You Care?
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protects your users’ data—like login credentials, personal info, and payment details—from being intercepted or tampered with. Here’s why it matters:
-
Security: Keeps communication private and encrypted
-
Trust: Visitors are more likely to engage and transact when they see the padlock
-
SEO Benefits: Google considers SSL a ranking signal
-
Browser Compliance: Chrome and Firefox now flag non-SSL sites as “Not Secure”
Free SSL with Every HostMidas Hosting Plan
At HostMidas, we believe online security shouldn’t come at an extra cost. That’s why every domain hosted with us comes with a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate—automatically.
- Once your domain is pointed to our servers, AutoSSL installs the SSL certificate
- It’s completely hands-off—no technical setup required
- Certificates renew automatically, so your site stays secure year-round
- You can focus on your website, while we handle the encryption behind the scenes
