An SSL certificate is a bit of code on your web server that provides security for online communications. When a web browser contacts your secured website, the SSL certificate enables an encrypted connection. It's kind of like sealing a letter in an envelope before sending it through the mail.
Why you need an SSL certificate. Websites need SSL certificates to keep user data secure, verify ownership of the website, prevent attackers from creating a fake version of the site, and convey trust to users.

To get an SSL certificate working with a custom domain on Nodejitsu, you can do the following:
The details of these steps will be slightly different depending on what you use to create your CSR and who your cert provider is. If you get stuck Nodejitsu support can help set you up.
