Definition
-
A dedicated SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, certificate is held by a website's owner, and it contains only information specific to that site or business. The dedicated SSL certificate requires verification of the website's information and ensures an extra layer of security when compared to a shared SSL certificate.
Significance
-
A dedicated SSL certificate provides assurance to a website's customers or users that the website has taken security seriously since dedicated SSL certificates give the website owner a larger range of control over the type of security created. Dedicated SSL certificates contain information for that company only, and as a result cost more than a typical shared certificate.
