Installing an SSL is essential. Without it, your customers will get a warning message that your site may not be what it should be. If you buy an SSL from Godaddy, it will cost you $90 for self-installation and $150 for a turn-key complete install. If you are inclined to pay $9 and get a two year install from Namecheap, get ready for an hour or two of work. If you can make $75 an hour after tax, I strongly recommend you pay godaddy their $150. If you don't, and you can settle down and work with the chat box for an hour or two, the finished product is every bit as good as the $150 Godaddy SSL. Installing an SSL is like Geometry. If you start out without reading the instructions, you will screw up your deal and increase the pain. Read the directions, follow the instructions and get on the support chat when you get stuck. If you have a reasonable understanding of computers, you can get through this. William Piontek
