Do I need an SSL certificate for a website that allows people to make donations over

[brianflhome]

It is technically a foundation, a non profit organization website, which will allow people to make donations for the cause. Is purchasing an SSL certificate for this site a good idea?
If i have to purchase then which one is better for such a site?

It is always good to have an SSL certificate, as this will encrypt sensitive user information, although it shouldn't be required in your case, unless you are manually charging the donations.

You can have a look at our SSL certificates here:

The basic one will suit your needs best.

Hi brian,

Its not compulsory, But yes SSL Certificate is very good option for any eCommerce or payment related websites. SSL Certificate protect users credential information by encrypted them. If users are finding SSL security on your website then they feel relax for sharing them credit card details.

So from My point of view if you carry SSL Certificate for your website then its good for you.... There are so many types of SSL available on market. Also you can get best prices from SSL Reseller. Just Type "SSL Reseller" In Google you will find best SSL Certificates provider list.

I hope you have now clear ideas about ssl and it's important.
