What is SSL?

SSL Certificates are fundamental to internet security. They are used to establish an encrypted connection and allow data to be transmitted securely between a browser or user's computer and a server or website.

  • Establishes a secure connection between a browser and a server.
  • Encrypts communication to protect sensitive information your customers provide.
  • Shows visitors that the connection is secure.
  • EV certificates also verify the organization's identity.

Basic SSL (Domain Validated) Certificates are the easiest and most common type of SSL certificate. 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. After payment, we will automatically configure, validate, and provision your new certificate for you.

* Your domain must be hosted through the same hosting provider who sold the SSL certificate, and the server must use cPanel, Plesk, or DirectAdmin.

Improve Your Search Engine Ranking

Establish trust and online security for your website visitors and business.

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.

There's also a lot more reasons why you should consider adding SSL to your website:

Encrypt sensitive data
Protect user privacy
Secure online transactions
Prove legitimacy
Activate HTTPS
Increase SEO rank

Browsers have changed, don't get left behind

Web pages not served via HTTPS are now being displayed as ‘not secure’ in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Don't let your website be one of them. Add SSL today.

Secure Your Entire Site with Wildcard SSL

A wildcard SSL certificate is the best way to secure your entire website and keep your users safe.

A wildcard SSL certificate protects your main domain and an unlimited number of subdomains (for example, mail.example.com or ftp.example.com). Even if you haven’t created any subdomains yourself, you probably have several subdomains for features included in your hosting package.

Protect every subdomain, including critical website services.
Secure your subdomains to protect critical services like:

  • Email (mail.example.com)
  • Webmail (webmail.example.com)
  • FTP or SFTP (ftp.example.com)
  • Control Panel (mail.example.com)

Don’t leave your website’s back door open to hackers—protect your entire site with wildcard SSL!

Help Me Choose The Right Type of Certificate

While the need for online security is universal, not all SSL Certificates are created equal. The guide below is designed to help you decide which type of certificate is right for you.

Domain Validation (DV)

  • Verifies ownership and control of the domain name only
  • Issued in minutes
  • Maintains browser compliance

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.

Extended Validation (EV)

  • Standards-based approach to authentication, representing the highest level of authentication for SSL Certificates
  • Typically issued within 1-3 days
  • Maintains browser and other industry compliance

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.

Multi-Year SSL Certificates

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 maximum term allowed by the CA/Browser Forum, with unlimited reissues during the order period.

Automated reissuance will occur automatically throughout the term to ensure continued protection for your website.

For example, a 2-year SSL certificate order works as follows: SSL certificate lifecycle

SSL certificates must be revalidated periodically, because the certificate lifetime is shorter than the order period.

Benefits

  • Enjoy increasing discounts for each year of coverage that you purchase.
  • Remove the hassle of annual billing.
  • Regular validation. Validating identity again for shorter-lived certificates prevents potential fraud and spoofing.

Frequently Asked Questions

SSL Certificates enable data encryption on the internet and allow data to be transmitted securely from a web server to a browser. With SSL, your website can use the HTTPS protocol and the browser shows visitors that the connection is secure.

SSL Certificates are an essential part of the internet. They not only encrypt communication between your computer and the server where a website is located, but they also provide verification that a site is what it claims to be.

Please note that every Virtuaal.com web hosting package includes a free SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. It is an internationally recognised solution that offers security similar to other certificates. Paid certificates come with a warranty from the certificate authority, and for EV certificates the company's background is verified as well.

There are 3 different levels of vetting that SSL Certificates are based upon: Domain Validated (DV), Organization Validated (OV) and Extended Validation (EV). The major difference between the types of certificate relates to the information the Certificate Authority, such as RapidSSL, GeoTrust or DigiCert, requires and validates in order to issue a certificate. The higher levels of certificate require more information. For example, an EV certificate includes the organization name, which builds more trust.

A Wildcard SSL certificate provides the same encryption and authentication features as other SSL certificates but can also be applied to an unlimited number of subdomains of a website. A Wildcard SSL certificate supports the root domain (example.com) as well as its subdomains. Learn more
