Choose the right SSL certificate for you

All of our SSLs will secure your website, but it’s essential to choose the right level of protection for your business. The main difference between the certificates is how the validation process is carried out by our partner Sectigo.

Domain validation (DV)

These are the quickest and easiest SSL certificates to get, and they are also really cost-effective. Sectigo will check that the owner of the domain is legitimate, usually via email.

Domain validated certificates are perfect for sole traders or hobby websites and are issued within 24 hours.

Organisation validation (OV)

For OV certs, Sectigo will verify that your organisation is a legitimate and legal entity and validate the domain ownership.

You will need to have a registered business to get an OV level certificate, and it will take up to 5 days to be issued.

Extended validation (EV)

EV certs offer the highest trust level and are considered the industry standard. To get an EV SSL certificate, you will need to pass a multilevel validation process taking up to 3 weeks.

We recommend this type of SSL to anyone running an e-commerce site or for websites that request information from customers.

Wildcard

This type of certificate allows you to protect your root domain and unlimited subdomains. Your subdomains get complete encryption with just one certificate, making it super quick and cost-effective.

Depending on your needs, you can choose either domain or organisation validation for your wildcard certificate.

Why buy an SSL certificate?

Adding an SSL certificate to your website is becoming a standard security requirement these days, as many browsers mark those without them as insecure. When you have an SSL, all data passed to and from your website is encrypted, meaning that you and your customers’ personal data is protected.

Customer trust

Frequently asked questions about SSL certificates

  • What is an SSL certificate?

    An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a bit of code on your website that creates a secure connection between your site and visitors. When data is passed between the two, it is encrypted, keeping it safe. A valid SSL certificate proves that your website is secure and your customers are protected.

  • What are the benefits of having an SSL certificate on my website?

    There are a number of reasons why having an SSL on your site is a really good idea:

    1. Protect your data and that of your customers
    2. Inspire trust in your website and business
    3. Improve your search engine rankings
    4. Protect your site from showing browser security warnings
    5. Reduce the risk of Phishing and other attacks
  • Which SSL certificate do I need?

    The type of SSL you choose will depend on what sort of website you have and how many domains and subdomains you need to protect.

    If you have a personal or hobby website, then a Domain validation (DV) certificate should be sufficient for you – your site will be protected and will show as secure.

    For business and organisations who want to build trust with visitors and prove their authenticity, an Organisation Validation (OV) certificate is ideal. Sectigo will verify you are a registered business and your SSL certificate will be issued within 5 days.

    For e-commerce sites or those that process customer details, you will need an Extended validation (EV) certificate as they offer the highest level of protection and promote the most trust for your website.

    Wildcard certificates cover your website domain and unlimited subdomains, so if you need to protect more than just one domain, this will be the certificate to choose.

  • Are Simply SSL certificates compatible with all types of server solutions?

    Yes! You can install any SSL on any kind of server you have with us.

  • How many domains can I protect with one SSL?

    With a standard SSL, you can secure one domain name. If you choose a Wildcard certificate, you can protect your root domain and unlimited subdomains of that domain.
