It's 2020, and one thing's needed for website security above anything else. This thing-as you rightly guessed-is an SSL certificate. If you don't secure your site using an SSL certificate, Google will soon mark your site as "Not Secure." Let's face it; you don't want it. So, what should you do? Well, you should-as you once again rightly guessed Buy SSL Certificate.

We know this sounds obvious and you're definitely not here to hear the obvious. You're here to buy the right and cheapest SSL certificate(s) for your site(s).

Well, we can't wait to help you out.

You might or might not know that SSL/TLS certificates come in different shapes and sizes. Fundamentally, SSL certificates can be categorized using two primary characteristics. They are:

  • Level of validation
  • Function of certificate

Let's have a look at them one-by-one.

Buy SSL by Validation Level

When it comes to SSL types based on validation level, there are three types of SSL certificates. These types vary from each other regarding the level of validation conducted by the certificate authority before issuing an SSL/TLS certificate. Based on the level of validation, here are the three types of SSL certificates:

Domain Validation SSL certificates

Domain Validation SSL certificates are the most basic type of SSL certificates in terms of validation level. That's because the process for validation is painless and straightforward. You merely have to prove to the Certificate Authority (CA) that you own the domain that was applied for. This can be done within minutes via email, allowing the certificate to be issued within minutes of purchase and then installed immediately. Domain Validation SSL/TLS certificates are an excellent option for securing personal websites, blogs, and other non-e-commerce sites.

Organization Validation SSL certificates

As far as SSL types by validation level are concerned, organization validation (OV) SSL certificates are the meeting point of DV SSL certs and EV certs. Organization Validation (OV) SSL/TLS Certificates require your company or organization to meet several requirements to pass authentication. Once validated, your website will show the standard trust indicators – the green HTTPS and padlock in the address bar – and your visitors will be able to see your business is legal and has been validated by a trusted third party security company within the certificate details and the dynamic site seal.

Extended Validation SSL Certificates

An Extended validation certificate-A.K.A. Green Address Bar SSL-is the top of the line SSL solution that involves a higher level of organizational validation. This, in turn, inspires the highest level of trust in your customers by activating the globally recognized green address bar that displays your verified organization's name across all web and mobile browsers and in the accompanying dynamic site seals.

The validation process may sound scary, but it's not. It usually only takes a few business days, and as long as you are a legitimate business and your organization's records are up to date (and you're available to take a quick phone call) you should have no problems zipping through the process, possibly even in 1 day. EV SSL has proven to pay for itself by increasing trust then boosting conversion. How much would a 4% increase in conversion be worth to you? Also, it certainly doesn't ever hurt when you put the safety & security of your customers first.

Buy SSL Certificate by Certificate Functions

Considering various functions of SSL certificates, they can be divided into four distinct categories. Let's have a brief look at each.

Single Domain SSL Certificates

In terms of certificate functionality, Single Domain SSL certificates are the most basic and most commonly used certificates. As suggested in the name itself, Single Domain SSL certificates encrypt one domain at a time. However, they could be DV, OV or EV depending upon the validation level.

Multi-Domain SSL (SAN/UCC) Certificates

Many site administrators might have more than one domain to secure. That's where Multi-Domain SSL certificates come in. Multi-Domain SSL/TLS Certificates allow you to secure multiple domains with a single certificate. This works for sub-domains, similar domains with different TLD's (Top-level Domains) and URL's that are entirely different. For instance, you could secure www.mydomain.com, mail.mydomain.com, www.mydomain.net and www.lets-secure-this-site-too.com, all on one certificate.

Multi-Domain Wildcard SSL Certificates

Regarding functionality, there is no certificate type topping a Multi-Domain SSL certificate. Depending upon the CA, you can secure up to 250 fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) and an unlimited number of sub-domains with a single Multi-Domain Wildcard SSL certificate. This saves time, money and efforts as you don't have purchase and manage separate SSL certificate for each of your domain or sub-domain. Like Wildcard SSL certificates, they too come with DV and OV validation.

"Very fast delivery. Installation was easy with no problems. If you are installing a wildcard SSL certificate on cPanel, you need to specify the actual domain name, don't try to install it on *.domain.com , you have to install it on each subdomain such as admin.domain.com, shop.domain.com,..etc. Use the same certificate for each subdomain you install. Good luck!"
