Four Secure Options Available Through Augmun Solutions Ltd
At Augmun Solutions Ltd, security and trust are at the heart of every website we build and host. One of the most important protections any modern website must have is an SSL certificate. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypts data between your website and its visitors, safeguarding sensitive information such as passwords, booking details, payment data, and enquiry forms.
Besides protecting your users, SSL also improves credibility, enhances brand reputation, supports compliance requirements, and contributes towards stronger search-engine visibility. To ensure all our clients can benefit from the right level of security, we offer four tiers of SSL certificates, tailored to different business needs.
The Four Types of SSL Available from Augmun Solutions
1. Free Wildcard SSL
Free
Included as standard with our hosting packages, this certificate provides core encryption and authentic HTTPS security. “Wildcard” simply means that it protects both your main domain and its first-level subdomains.
Best for:
-
Informational business websites
-
Small companies and start-ups
-
Brochure sites, blogs and portfolios
This is a simple, effective way for smaller businesses to get secure quickly without additional cost.
2. Simple SSL (Paid)
£80.00 per annum
This entry-level paid SSL offers the same encryption but is backed by a registered Certificate Authority. For businesses that prefer the added professionalism of a commercial SSL, this is a popular choice.
Best for:
-
Businesses collecting form details
-
Websites requesting user data
-
Companies that want the reassurance of a commercially-issued SSL
It adds a layer of trust for visitors who may be cautious about submitting information online.
3. Paid Wildcard SSL
£175 per annum
This enhanced Wildcard SSL provides full security not only for your core domain but also for any sub-services you operate — such as portals, blogs, staff areas, booking engines, or e-commerce subdivisions.
Best for:
-
Growing businesses
-
Multi-service platforms
-
Organisations likely to add more subdomains in the future
It is especially useful for companies planning expansion, offering a “future-proofed” SSL solution without needing separate certificates later.
4. Extended SSL
£495 per annum
Extended SSL provides the highest level of business validation. This form of certificate verifies the identity of the company behind the website, ensuring users are engaging with a legitimate business.
Best for:
-
Online stores
-
Websites handling payments or booking transactions
-
Businesses collecting sensitive customer information
-
Any organisation that wants maximum visible trust and legitimacy
This option is often chosen where customer confidence is critical and online conversion directly affects revenue.
