# How to Run SSL in Plesk Hosting ?

### What is SSL?
**SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)** is a security protocol that encrypts the communication between your website and your visitors’ browsers. This encryption helps ensure that any data exchanged such as contact form submissions or payment information remains confidential and protected from unauthorized access.

Websites secured with SSL display a padlock icon (🔒) in the browser’s address bar and use **HTTPS** instead of HTTP. This not only enhances user trust but also strengthens the credibility and professionalism of your website.

This guide will walk you through to run SSL in Plesk hosting.

1. Login into your Plesk using the username and password provided.
