TLS

This page is mainly about adding TLS (also commonly referred to by it's predecessor 'SSL') for your web servers such as Apache or nginx.

If you have a website or other online resources, you should be running them on a Secure webserver. If you need help, call eQuality Technology. We can secure your site very quickly and very cost-effectively, using the highest grade security measures.

Security Check

Instantly check your site's security grade at https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html (you can also append the domain name like so: ?d=equality-tech.com)

Upgraded Security

We used to run certificates from StartSSL because they offer free one-year certificates. However, today we upgraded to using 'LetsEncrypt' and our certificates are both more secure and easier to manage. Instead of a "B" grade, we now have "A" grade security.
