Standard SSL directory is an internet based directory that provides a listing of websites that are secured by Standard SSL certificates. Such a directory is very useful for website owners of small businesses and e-commerce websites that don’t have big budgets yet need directory listing for promoting their business and website.
Almost all of us know about yellow pages and how they are useful for businesses. Listing of businesses in yellow pages helps businesses reach a wider number of people. Similarly the listings allow customers and consumers to find the business or service provider they need from a wide selection without having to run about searching.
An SSL directory works on the same principle and provides listings of e-commerce websites that are certified by SSL certificates. In other words, it provides a listing of e-businesses that are known to be secure and trustworthy.
SSL Certificates come in various types – standard certificates that are used to secure small or stand-alone e-commerce websites, enterprise certificates that help secure websites of major enterprises or businesses that involve high volume transactions are some examples.
Similarly enterprise SSL directories are also of different types. A Standard SSL directory is usually a listing of websites that are secured by a standard SSL certificate. Examples of standard SSL certificates would be the RapidSSL® and RapidSSL® WildCard certificates. Websites that are secured by Standard SSL certificates are normally privately owned, small e-commerce websites.
These websites don’t have high volume transactions and cater to a limited number of customers and visitors each day. A Standard SSL directory would normally list such websites by classifying them on the basis of the type of Standard SSL certificate they hold. This means a Standard SSL directory would have listings classified under the following headings:
- RapidSSL®
- RapidSSL WildCard®
- QuickSSL®
- Etc.
Since these are all SSL certificates from different Certification Authorities, you can also describe these listings as be that of websites that are classified according to the CA from which they got their SSL certificate.
If you are a small business website owner, getting your SSL certified website listed in a Standard SSL directory can give a big boost to your business and you can see revenues rising nicely after the listing. You might or might not have to pay to get a berth in Standard SSL directory listings.
