What comes with an SSL certificate?

Every SSL certificate issued by us comes with these great features.

SSL Site Seal

The site seal offers visual proof of the security provided by your website's SSL certificate. It's so important, in fact, that it's become the main reason many website owners and managers buy an SSL certificate as most web users know to look for it. Seals vary in appearance depending on the type of SSL certificate issued, but they all mean the same thing: your user's data is protected.

Your users will never wonder if the company issuing the certificate is real or whether protection is guaranteed.

Encryption Level

The level of security provided by an SSL certificate is determined by the number of bits used to generate the encryption key. That key is then used to encrypt the data. Most of our SSL certificates use either 256-bit or 128-bit encryption, depending on the capabilities of web browser and server. Both 256- and 128-bit are industry standard for data protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get the answers to frequently asked questions about SSL certificates and our services.

  • What is an SSL Certificate?

    An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity and enables an encrypted connection. It's a security protocol that creates a secure link between a web server and a browser, ensuring that all data passed between them remains private and integral. When you visit a website with SSL, you'll see a padlock icon in the address bar, indicating that your connection is secure.

  • Why do I need an SSL Certificate for my website?

    SSL Certificates are essential for several reasons: Security - They encrypt data transmission between your website and visitors, protecting sensitive information like passwords and credit card details. Trust - They display visual trust indicators (padlock icon, "HTTPS" in URL) that increase visitor confidence. SEO Benefits - Google gives ranking preference to HTTPS websites. Compliance - Many regulations require SSL for handling personal data. Professional Credibility - Modern browsers warn users about non-HTTPS sites.

  • How long does it take to get an SSL Certificate?

    Most SSL Certificates are issued within minutes to a few hours after purchase and verification. Domain Validated (DV) certificates are typically issued within minutes. Organization Validated (OV) certificates may take 1-3 business days as they require business verification. Extended Validation (EV) certificates can take 1-5 business days due to thorough verification processes. We'll notify you via email once your certificate is ready for installation.

  • Do I need technical knowledge to install an SSL Certificate?

    While SSL installation requires some technical steps, it's not overly complex. The process typically involves: 1) Generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR), 2) Submitting the CSR to the Certificate Authority, 3) Installing the certificate on your web server, and 4) Configuring your website to use HTTPS. We provide detailed installation guides for popular web servers (Apache, Nginx, IIS, cPanel). If you need assistance, our support team is available 24/7 to help with the installation process.

  • What's the difference between different types of SSL Certificates?

    There are three main types: Domain Validated (DV) - Basic validation, issued quickly, shows padlock icon. Organization Validated (OV) - Business verification required, shows company name in certificate details, higher trust level. Extended Validation (EV) - Most thorough validation, shows company name in address bar, highest trust and security. We also offer Wildcard certificates (protect unlimited subdomains) and Multi-Domain certificates (protect multiple domains with one certificate).

  • How long do SSL Certificates last and do they auto-renew?

    SSL Certificates typically last for 1-3 years, with most being valid for 1 year. We offer automatic renewal services to ensure your website never loses its security protection. You'll receive renewal reminders via email before expiration. Our certificates can be renewed for up to 3 years in advance, and we provide easy renewal options through your account panel. It's important to renew before expiration to avoid security warnings on your website.

  • Will an SSL Certificate slow down my website?

    Modern SSL implementation has minimal impact on website performance. The encryption/decryption process adds less than 1% overhead, which is negligible compared to the security benefits. In fact, HTTPS can improve performance through HTTP/2 protocol support, which many browsers require for advanced features. The slight processing overhead is far outweighed by the trust, security, and SEO benefits that SSL provides to your website and visitors.
