Encryption is an important security measure that helps keep sensitive data (like user information or financial details) safe from bad actors. Web hosting providers implement encryption by converting data into an unreadable format as it’s transmitted. This means that the data is intercepted and it can’t be deciphered without the right decryption key.
This helps protect people’s privacy, prevents data breaches, and makes the internet a safer place. It also gives website visitors confidence that their information is being sent securely and can’t be easily stolen by hackers.
