Free SSL on Every Plan
Auto-Renewed Forever
Every Nexerve hosting plan includes a free SSL certificate that installs automatically and renews itself. No manual renewals, no expiry warnings, no extra cost — ever.
SSL encrypts your site and tells visitors they're safe
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) creates an encrypted connection between your visitor's browser and your web server. You'll recognise it as the padlock icon in the browser address bar and the https:// prefix in your URL.
Without SSL, browsers like Chrome display a "Not Secure" warning on your site — immediately destroying trust and increasing bounce rates. With SSL, your visitors know their data is protected.
Every Nexerve plan includes SSL through Let's Encrypt, automatically installed and set to renew itself every 90 days. You'll never see an expired certificate warning.
SSL isn't optional — it's essential
From search rankings to customer trust, SSL affects nearly every aspect of your online presence.
Google Rankings
Google uses HTTPS as a ranking signal. Sites without SSL are actively penalised in search results. An SSL certificate is one of the easiest SEO wins you can get — and it's free on every plan.
Visitor Trust
The padlock icon in the browser tells your visitors their connection is secure. Without it, Chrome and Firefox display a "Not Secure" warning — enough to send most visitors straight back to Google.
E-Commerce Ready
If you take payments or collect any personal data, SSL isn't just recommended — it's required. Payment processors like Stripe and PayPal require HTTPS as a baseline security requirement.
GDPR Compliance
Under GDPR, you're required to protect personal data in transit. SSL encryption is a fundamental technical measure for any UK or EU business collecting data through contact forms or sign-ups.
Enables HTTP/2
SSL is required to use HTTP/2, the modern web protocol that dramatically speeds up page load times. Without SSL, your site is stuck on the slower HTTP/1.1 — with it, pages load faster for everyone.
Zero Maintenance
Traditional SSL certificates expire and require manual renewal — easy to forget, costly when missed. Nexerve handles all renewals automatically so you'll never face a lapsed certificate or a browser security warning.
SSL that installs itself and never expires
Sign up for any Nexerve plan
SSL is included on every plan — Starter, Professional and Enterprise. No need to select it, enable it, or pay for it separately.
SSL is provisioned automatically
When your hosting account is set up, your SSL certificate is issued and installed automatically via Let's Encrypt. Your site is on HTTPS from day one.
Point your domain and go live
Once your domain is pointed to Nexerve, the padlock appears automatically. Visitors see https:// in the address bar and the browser security warning is gone.
Automatic renewal — nothing to do
Let's Encrypt certificates renew every 90 days. Nexerve handles this entirely in the background. You'll never receive an expiry notice or need to take any action.
