Importance of SSL for link shortening

SSL or Secure Sockets Layer is an encryption-based Internet security protocol. It was first developed by Netscape in 1995 for the purpose of ensuring privacy, authentication, and data integrity in Internet communications.

A website that implements SSL/TLS has "HTTPS" in its URL instead of "HTTP."

At Lnk8 all the hosted sites, payment pages, and redirection domains are SSL encrypted.

Even custom domains which are connected are provided with an SSL certificate.
