SSL & Website Security for Publications

A publication's website needs SSL as a baseline trust and security requirement, and increasingly as a ranking factor search engines consider, on top of protecting any reader account or newsletter signup data collected.

Where SSL fits a publication's website

A domain-validated certificate covers standard publication security needs, and wildcard options handle a publisher running a separate subscriber-portal or newsletter subdomain under the same certificate.

What this looks like in practice

A digital publication secures its main site and a separate reader-account subdomain under one wildcard certificate, covering both the public content and the subscriber login area.
