What is an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate acts as third-party verification for a website’s security. It verifies the strength of the Secure Socket Layer encryption used when a user connects to the site and connects that encryption to the organization or individual that owns and maintains the website.
Different SSL certificates provide different levels of security, depending on the level of protection and security features your website and its users need. You may be familiar with visual elements such as Site Seals or the HTTPS:// protocol appearing in the URL, but there are less-visible functions that help protect your website and visitors.
No matter what level of security you choose, your users will recognize that your site is safe, and that leads to greater trust in your brand online.
Find out more about what Secure Socket Layer is and how SSL works.
How to choose an SSL certificate
Validation is a key feature of SSL certification. Here’s how they differentiate from each other.
Domain Validation (DV)
Validation LevelPerfect for blogs, personal websites, and Facebook apps. It does not verify the site owner information and is not recommended to be used for e-Commerce or sites that have a user login.
Easy to activate- Available in 15 minutes or less
- No paperwork needed
Organization Validation (OV)
Validation LevelIdeal for securing sites that take in customer info and require login credentials. Site owner information is verified by the Certificate Authority.
- Company information inside SSL details
- Visitors can check company information
- Paperwork needed
Extended Validation (EV)
Validation LevelRecommended for sites requiring encryption for more sensitive customer information, such as credit cards. Site owner information is more thoroughly vetted by the Certificate Authority.
- Company information inside SSL details
- Highest trust available
- Paperwork needed

After you purchase an SSL certificate, it needs to be activated. After activation, you’ll receive installation instructions. From that point, you can manage your certificate in the Account Panel.
Buy It
Begin by purchasing the right SSL certificate for your needs. Choose the validation level that fits your website.
Activate It
Activate your certificate from the Account Panel immediately after purchase. CSR code assignment and domain indication happen during activation.
Install It
Receive installation instructions once the certificate has been validated and issued, then install it on your server.
Manage It
Manage renewals, reissuance, and certificate records from your account.
What comes with an SSL certificate?
Every SSL certificate comes with these features.
SSL Site Seal
The site seal offers visual proof of the security provided by your website’s SSL certificate and helps visitors recognize a protected connection.
Top-Tier Support
Get help with certificate selection, activation, validation, installation, renewal, and reissuance.
Browser Compatibility
Certificates are selected for compatibility with popular browsers, operating systems, and modern devices.
Encryption Level
Most certificates use 256-bit or 128-bit encryption depending on browser and server capabilities.
Why get an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate protects data in transit, gives visitors a familiar security cue, and supports trust at the moment they share information with your website.
Secure certificates for better prices
Choose a certificate that fits the site rather than paying for capabilities you do not need. Pricing remains visible before checkout and renewal pricing is shown on each product.
Customer service you can count on
Get help through the order page and help center when DNS validation, installation, or renewal does not go as planned.
Gain trust all-round
From SSL site seals to the browser padlock, visitors recognize security markers. A certificate keeps the connection encrypted and helps avoid browser warnings that can interrupt a purchase or sign-in.
Certificates are independently issued by a public Certificate Authority and trusted by major browsers, giving the site solid encryption and broad compatibility.
Most frequently asked questions
How do I activate an SSL certificate?
After purchase, open the SSL certificate in your account. Generate a CSR on the server where the website is hosted, enter or select the domain, and choose a validation method. The certificate authority validates domain control before issuance.
How do I reissue my SSL certificate?
Reissue when the hosting server changes, the CSR/RSA pair may be compromised, or the covered domain changes. Generate a new CSR/RSA pair and complete validation again before installing the replacement certificate.
How do I renew an SSL certificate?
Public certificates have a fixed expiration date. Renew before expiration, complete any required validation, then install the renewed certificate on the server.
