What Is SSL Bit Encryption?

SSL bit encryption measures the strength of the encryption that protects data transferred between your website and your visitors. It’s a key part of what makes online connections secure, ensuring that sensitive information such as passwords and payment details can’t be intercepted or read by unauthorized parties.

When a visitor connects to your website through HTTPS, the SSL certificate encrypts the communication using a cryptographic key. The bit size (such as 128-bit or 256-bit) represents the complexity of that encryption. The larger the bit size, the more secure the connection.

Hosted.com® uses 256-bit encryption with 2048-bit RSA keys, the same standard trusted by banks and government agencies. This level of security makes it nearly impossible for hackers to break through and guarantees that your website’s data remains protected at all times.
