 * Hello,
 * I am looking into finding a good SSL for my site. I keep reading about a “robust”
   certificate for ecommerce.
 * What the heck does “robust” mean?

 * [@sterndata](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/), thanks for the 
   info.
 * The funny thing about this is that I found the “robust” description in several
   places (one of them my ISP).
 * Since Google wants to see certificates now, I am thinking about going with the
   free one one made available by my ISP and upgrading when I add e-commerce to 
   my site.

 * I use letsencrypt.org certs and they’re good enough. If I were building a major
   e-commerce site, then the client might want to spring for one of the fancier 
   ones.
