I use BL2 to create and manage my website. Recently my hosting service, GoDaddy, has been pressuring me to add SSL to my website. They say that a hacker could modify my site so that when someone click's the "Secure Check Out" button on my cart page, the purchaser would be taken to a fake paypal site.
Is this possible?
How likely?
Will adding the SSL feature stop a hacker from doing this?
Is there another way to protect my site from possible hackers?
Norton Safe Web says my site is safe. I would appreciate any thoughts on this.

And now, with the release of Backlight 2.0.5, implementing SSL (https) on your site if super easy.

Thanks for the link. I just updated my site to BL 2.0.5. You mention it is now super easy to implement SSL on my site? How do I do this?

You first need a SSL certificate from your host.
Once they install that, go to Backlight Settings and change the site (and company url if they’re the same) and the Wordpress url if using WordPress, so that they start with https:// rather than http://.
Then, still in Settings, go to the Privacy section and redirect browsers to https

SSL enables encryption so man-in-the-middle attacks do not happen. it is important for eCommerce sites. You read more here:

Some hosts such as Bluehost and 1and1/Ionos now include one SSL certificate for free in their shared web hosting packages. And they make it easy to install it.

I did all that. However my uploaded (in BL) images, such as header were still http, so I had mixed content that was not displayed.
Loading the images again and it worked fine...
