I’ve been told to secure my shopping website hosting with an SSL certificate, how do I do this?
An SSL certificate is an encrypted method which encrypts any data between the server and the client. We can provide you with an SSL certificate for R240/year including installation. This price excludes the static IP address which will be required to run the SSL certificate.

You can do this automatically and instantly through our client area, my.elitehost.co.za - we only charge you the pro rata difference in price.

We offer a 99.9%+ uptime guarantee as per our Service Level Agreement (SLA). If your site isn't available 99.9% of the time within a given month, we will give you a pro-rated credit for the downtime.
