SSL certificates are critically required because SSL certificates protect the exchange of data between your website and the server.
If your website is set up to accept payment and a customer enters a credit card or other sensitive data, you want to be sure you can secure that information. An SSL certificate will protect that data between the user's computer and the server. No one can intercept the data traffic in the middle.
