The Hash definitely secures things. The passwords are scrambled when they are entered. They aren't even stored inside the MySQL database as the same as they are when entered. They are all scrambled code.
SSL certificates are usually only purchased when security could be detrimental, such as credit cards and social security numbers.
Purchased? Well if you can't set the shit up yourself with openSSLQuote:
