I already have my own SSL — do I have to switch?

No, you can keep it and use it till it expires, or switch anytime.

Is the SSL really free forever?

Yes, for as long as your membership is active — no separate purchase, no manual renewal.

What does an SSL certificate cost?

The SSL certificate price on GlobalLinker is ₹0 — there are no separate SSL certificate charges, ever. Elsewhere, a free certificate still means extra cost for hosting and your time to install and renew it. With us, SSL is included in your Premium Plus website hosting membership.

How do I renew my SSL certificate?

You don't have to. Most free SSL certificates must be renewed manually every 90 days. On GlobalLinker, your SSL certificate renews automatically for as long as your Premium Plus membership is active — nothing to remember, nothing to reinstall.

Do I need technical skills?

No — two simple steps, nothing to install yourself.

Premium Plus is an annual membership that renews yearly.

Is GlobalLinker's SSL completely free with no membership required?

No — the SSL certificate itself is free and auto-renewing, but it's included as part of an annual Premium Plus website hosting membership. There's no separate charge for the certificate.

Is a free SSL certificate really free?

Yes — the SSL certificate itself costs nothing, and it renews automatically for as long as you're a GlobalLinker Premium Plus member. It's included as part of website hosting, not sold separately — so there's no certificate to buy, install, or renew yourself.

You've probably seen it: your website flagged "Not Secure" in the browser, or a buyer mentioning it looked untrustworthy. So now you're here, looking for a free fix.

Here's what most "free SSL" guides don't tell you: those certificates expire every 90 days, and you have to renew the SSL certificate yourself. Miss the renewal — which most business owners do, because it's not their job to remember — and the exact same warning comes back. Except now it's mid-season, a buyer is mid-checkout or mid-inquiry, and they bounce. The fix wasn't free. It just moved the cost from money to risk.

5 reasons a free SSL certificate isn't the whole fix

Free SSL isn't free maintenance. It expires every 90 days — someone has to renew the SSL certificate manually, forever.
Installing it isn't simple. CSR generation, DNS records, server config — real steps, not a checkbox.
SSL alone doesn't sell anything. It only stops you losing buyers you already had — it doesn't bring new ones.
Buyers now expect more than "https." A verified business profile matters more to a serious buyer than a padlock icon.
Piecemeal costs more than bundled. Third-party cert + your time + hosting elsewhere, vs. one membership that includes it all.

Here's exactly what's free — and what's not.

Let's be upfront, because you came here looking for free and that matters. The SSL certificate price: ₹0. Forever. The installation: free + a guided on-screen installation assistance. Every renewal, for as long as you're with us: free. You will never pay anyone for that certificate again.

What isn't free is hosting a business website that comes with buyer access, masterclasses and support — the same kind of hosting you'd pay for anywhere else, SSL or not.

So the honest version: you're not paying for SSL. You're paying for hosting and buyer access — and SSL is one of the things that comes with it, instead of something you'd have to buy and babysit separately.
