Why a Premium Certificate Makes the Difference
Premium SSL certificates from trusted Certificate Authorities go beyond encryption — they carry validated identity, CA-backed financial warranties, and institutional recognition that compliance frameworks depend on.
Personal & professional sites
A DV certificate from a recognized CA delivers fast-issued encryption and the credibility of a named issuer — ideal for portfolios, blogs, agencies, and service businesses.
Businesses and organizations
OV certificates verify your organization’s legal identity and embed your company name in the certificate. Customers and partners see exactly who they’re dealing with — not just a domain.
E-commerce, finance, and enterprise
EV is the highest standard in SSL assurance. Required by financial institutions, government procurement, and regulated industries — and carries the largest available warranty coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you include a free SSL certificate with hosting?
What is a wildcard SSL certificate?
*.yourdomain.com secures app.yourdomain.com, shop.yourdomain.com, and any other subdomains — all with a single certificate. Wildcards do not cover the root domain or second-level subdomains such as sub.app.yourdomain.com.
What is the difference between DV, OV, and EV certificates?
Domain Validation (DV) — The CA verifies you control the domain. Issued in minutes, lowest cost, suitable for most websites. Does not include company information in the certificate.
Organization Validation (OV) — The CA verifies both domain control and your organization’s legal existence. Your company name appears in the certificate details, adding a layer of accountability and trust.
Extended Validation (EV) — The most rigorous vetting process. The CA verifies legal identity, physical address, and operational status. Carries the highest financial warranty and is often required by financial institutions and government procurement.
