Why Use a Secure Certificate?
If you want to use web pages that are capable of passing information to and from your users in a secure fashion, then you need a secure certificate. This enables you to utilize the security of up to 128-bit encryption designed to prevent anyone from intercepting the information passed to and from your website when accessed using https. With a secure certificate installed on your domain, the web server encrypts/scrambles the information sent to your users, who are the only ones with the key capable of decrypting/unscrambling and viewing the information. This capability is particularly useful for ecommerce or other sites that may handle private or personal data. A secure site begins with https and has the "Lock" emblem at the bottom of the pages.

While we do provide a method to access your site securely through our shared SSL certificate, many site owners prefer the professional image/benefit from having their own secure certificate. 

Some sites, especially ecommerce sites, want the professional appearance of having their own certificate rather than having our host.khimaira.com in the URL of their secure pages.  

Many site owners would rather have their users see:

https://myowndomain.com/

...instead of

https://host.khimaira.com/domain/

Likewise, resellers sometimes do not want our servername to appear in the URL.

It is merely kept in your Control Panel for your convenience.
