Which SSL certificate do I need?
All certificates encrypt traffic the same way; they differ in validation and coverage:
- Domain Validated (DV) — issued in minutes after you prove control of the domain. Right for most websites.
- Organization Validated (OV) — the company is verified; the details appear in the certificate. 1–3 days.
- Extended Validation (EV) — the strictest check, for banks and large brands. Several days.
- Wildcard — one certificate for *.yourdomain.com (all subdomains).
- Multi-domain (SAN) — several different domains in one certificate.
Compare the options on the SSL page. Hosting plans include a free basic certificate for sites hosted with us.
