Most modern hosts provide free SSL (Let's Encrypt) with auto-renewal — enough for blogs, landings and most sites. A paid certificate (OV/EV) is only needed by stores and banks where verified organization identity matters. Check whether SSL is enabled in the plan by default.

SSL encrypts data between the site and visitor, providing HTTPS and the browser padlock. Without it, browsers flag the page as 'not secure' and search lowers your rankings.
Yes, for blogs, landings and most sites free Let's Encrypt with auto-renewal is perfectly fine. A paid certificate is only needed by stores and banks.
The encryption level is the same. The difference is validation: paid OV/EV certificates verify organization identity, which matters for banks and large stores where trust is critical.
Most modern hosts offer Let's Encrypt right in the panel — enabled in one click with auto-renewal. Check whether it's free on your plan.
Арендую у данного хостинга VPS сервер в NL, скорость работы очень хорошая, сайт работает ровно без лагов и сбоев, подключил за 149р дополнительно “мониторинг” для полной уверенности стабильной работы сайта, за 4 месяца проблем не наблюдал.
Ужасный хостинг. Несмогли настроить сервер для приложения, работу которго они ГАРАНТИРОВАЛИ. НЕДЕЛЮ не могли решить элементарную проблему. Вернули деньги из-за своей некомпетентности
Классный сервис, с хорошей командой, ребята sim-networks точно знают толк, в своей работе. Арендуем у них несколько выделенных серверов, функционируют стабильно.
