SSL Certificates FAQs
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 what turns HTTP into HTTPS and activates the padlock symbol in a web browser.
Why do I need an SSL certificate for my website?
You need an SSL certificate to:
- Protect data: Encrypt information sent between a user’s browser and your server.
- Build trust: Show visitors your site is secure with a browser padlock.
- Improve SEO: Google ranks HTTPS sites higher than HTTP sites.
- Meet requirements: It’s essential for accepting payments online (PCI DSS compliance).
What’s the difference between DV, OV, and EV SSL?
Domain Validation (DV): Basic validation, issued quickly. Ideal for blogs and personal sites.
Organization Validation (OV): The CA verifies the business behind the website. Better for corporate sites and businesses.
Extended Validation (EV): The highest level of validation, displaying your company name in the address bar. Best for e-commerce and finance.
What is a Wildcard SSL certificate?
A Wildcard SSL secures a main domain (e.g., yourdomain.com) and all its subdomains (e.g., shop.yourdomain.com, blog.yourdomain.com). It’s a cost-effective solution for sites with multiple subdomains.
How long does it take to get an SSL certificate?
DV certificates: Can be issued in minutes.
OV/EV certificates: Take from a few hours to several days due to the manual verification process.
What is a CSR, and why do I need it?
A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is a block of encoded text generated on your server. It contains your website’s public key and information, which is required by the Certificate Authority (CA) to create your unique SSL certificate.
Will you help me install the SSL certificate?
Yes. If you host with us, we typically offer free installation. For external hosting, we provide clear, step-by-step guides to help you through the process.
What happens if my SSL certificate expires?
Currently, the maximum validity period for an SSL certificate is 13 months. You will need to renew it annually to maintain a secure site.
Do I need an SSL certificate if my site doesn’t handle payments?
Yes. Even if you only have a contact form, user logins, or simply want to build trust, an SSL certificate is essential. Modern browsers mark all HTTP sites as “Not Secure.”
What is the browser padlock, and what does it mean?
The padlock icon in the address bar indicates that the connection to the website is encrypted and secure. It means that any data exchanged between you and the site is private and cannot be easily intercepted by third parties.
