Why I need an SSL certificate?

Improve your search engine ranking

Google wants to make the web safer and a big part of that involves making sure that the sites people access via Google are secure. That's why websites using SSL have been shown to benefit from higher ranking in search results.

How to start with SSL?

Choose SSL validation level appropriate for your domain

Standard SSL (Domain Validated) Certificates are the easiest and most common type of SSL certificate. OV and EV Certificates also authenticate the identity of the company or organization that holds the certificate providing more trust to end users.

With our SSL certificate services, you won't need to take manual steps to configure and deploy new certificates every year. We generate a renewal order automatically when your certificate nears the end of its validity.

SSL Features

What comes with an SSL certificate?

SSL Site Seal

The site seal offers visual proof of the security provided by your website’s SSL certificate.

Sensitive Data Encryption

The level of security provided by an SSL certificate is determined by the number of bits used to generate the encryption key.

User Privacy Protection

SSL encrypts the data passing between your visitors and your website, so personal details like names, emails, and passwords stay private and cannot be read by anyone intercepting the connection.

Online Transaction Security

Customers are far more willing to enter card details and complete purchases when they can see your site is secured. SSL protects payment and checkout information as it travels, helping reduce fraud and cart abandonment.

Increased SEO Ranking

Google treats security as a ranking signal and favours sites served over HTTPS. Adding an SSL certificate can give your pages a helpful edge in search results while keeping visitors safe.

Proven Legitimacy

OV and EV certificates verify that a real, registered organization stands behind your website. That confirmed identity reassures visitors they are dealing with a legitimate business, not an impostor.

Domain Validation (DV)

Ideal for non-critical web pages

Think of DV like getting a library card-no confirmation of who you really are, very minimal requirements to obtain and issued very quickly.
SSL Certificates - Ideal for non-critical web pages
Organization Validation (OV)

Ideal for more sensitive webpages such as login pages

Think of OV like getting a driver’s license-more hoops to jump through than a library card but more trusted as a form of identification.

SSL Certificates - Ideal for more sensitive webpages such as login pages
Extended Validation (EV)

Ideal for sensitive webpages including ecommerce, online banking, account signups

Think of EV like getting a passport-much more stringent processes, longer lead times and more verification of who you are than with a library card or driver’s license. Recognized internationally as the most trusted way to verify your identity.

Wildcard

Secure unlimited subdomains on a single certificate

Wildcard SSL allows you to secure an unlimited number of subdomains on a single certificate. It’s a great solution for anyone who hosts or manages multiple sites or pages that exist on the same domain. The one-time cost of the certificate covers you for additional subdomains you may add in the future.

Multi-Year SSL Certificates

Order SSL certificates for more than one year and save!

Multi-year certificates allow you to pay a single discounted price for two or three years of SSL certificate coverage. When you purchase a multi-year SSL certificate, you lock in a single price for up to 3 years of coverage.

Initially, you will receive a certificate that is valid for the Certificate Authority Browser Forum's maximum allowed term (1 year and 1 month) with the right to unlimited certificate reissues during the order period.
Increasing Discounts

Enjoy increasing discounts for each year of coverage that you purchase.

Freedom of Mind
Remove the hassle of annual billing. No need to remember to pay for the SSL every year.
Annual validation
Yearly validation of identity in shorter validity certificates prevents potential fraud and spoofing.
