The encryption of information:

The SSL certificate is based on using a private key and a public key. The public key encrypts data and the private key decrypts it.


The SSL certificate encrypts and scrambles the data during transmission: The information is confidential and secure.


Authentication of information:

OVH is the certification authority of your SSL certificates. In other words the organization that has authenticated and accepted your certificate. This information is shown in the final SSL certificate.


The name of the site to authenticate is the full domain name. Therefore www.ovh.co.uk is not the same name as ovh.co.uk. If you want to secure both names, you will have to sign up for two authentications: one for www.ovh.co.uk and the other for ovh.co.uk.
