Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SSL Certificate? ExpandSSL, which stands for Secure Sockets Layer, is a cyber-security protocol that digitally encrypts information sent from a browser to a server. SSL certificates are used to protect sensitive information like credit card numbers, usernames, passwords, email addresses, and more. A website with an SSL certificate is identified using a number of trust indicators, like “https” and the padlock icon in the browser bar, a site seal from a reputable Certificate Authority (CA), and a green bar that wraps around the URL on more premium certificates.
What is a Domain Validated (DV) SSL Certificate? ExpandA Domain Validated (DV) SSL certificate is a quick and easy way to secure a domain, as the Certificate Authority (CA) issuing the certificate only requires verification that the recipient actually owns the domain they wish to cover. This verification process can typically be completed in a matter of minutes. However, these certificates offer little in the way of SSL recognition, so they are recommended for websites where visitor trust is not of high importance and information like usernames, passwords, or credit card information is not required.
If I buy a Domain Validated (DV) Certificate, what document(s) do I need to provide? ExpandYou do not need to provide any documentation in order to purchase a Domain Validated (DV) certificate. All you will need to do is confirm that you own the domain you wish to cover, either through a simple email or file-based authentication.
What is an Organization Validated (OV) SSL Certificate? ExpandAn Organization Validated (OV) SSL certificate requires that a business complete a light vetting process by the Certificate Authority before being issued. These certificates are a nice middle-ground between DV and EV certificates, as they aren’t as expensive as EV options but still offer more SSL and trust indications than basic between DV and EV certificates. These certificates typically take between 2-3 days to be issued.
If I buy a Organization Validated (OV) Certificate, what document(s) do I need to provide? ExpandOrganization Validated (OV) verification requires checking your business registration. If the Certificate Authority (CA) can verify this information using online government databases, no additional documents will be required. However, if the online filings are not available or inaccurate or not up to date, the CA may request additional official government registration documents, which vary on a case-by-case basis. A Dun & Bradstreet listing can usually satisfy most of the requirements for an OV certificate.
What is an Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate? ExpandEV stands for Extended Validation and is the most premium type of SSL certificate available. These certificates are identified on websites mainly by the green address bar, the most universally recognized symbol of trust on the web. EV certificates are becoming more and more commonplace in the industry, especially amongst ecommerce sites, as they are used by some of the most trusted sites in the world like Bank of America, Twitter, Paypal, and more. These certificates require that a company complete a thorough vetting process before being issued.
If I buy a Extended Validation (EV) Certificate, what document(s) do I need to provide? ExpandEV certificates require a more stringent verification process than OV certificates. To understand the basis of this procedure, please refer to the above question about OV certificate verification. Please note that EV certificates require you to complete a few extra steps, including proving both physical and operational existence as well as completing a simple telephone call with the Certificate Authority (CA) directly.
How can I qualify for an Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificate? ExpandThe main criteria for qualifier for an EV certificate would be that your business is an official company registered with a government authority. Also, if you’re a Sole Proprietor or a Partnership registered in the U.K., you cannot qualify for any EV SSL certificate.
I am a Sole Proprietor. Can I still qualify for an Organizational Validation (OV) or Extended Validation (EV) Certificate? ExpandYes! Sole Proprietors outside of the U.K. can qualify for both OV and EV certificates. However, Sole Proprietors located in the United Kingdom or UK Partnerships cannot qualify for EV certificates, but are eligible for OV certificates, with additional documentation required.
How can I get a Green Address bar on my website? ExpandThe only way to get the green address bar on your website is with an Extended Validation (EV) certificate, which is our Premium option. These are the only type of SSL certificates that include the green address bar.
What is a Certificate Authority (CA)? ExpandA Certificate Authority (CA) is the company that actually issues the SSL certificates. Symantec, Thawte, GeoTrust, RapidSSL, and Comodo are all CAs, for example.
What is a Wildcard certificate? ExpandWildcard SSL certificates can cover one main domain name (www.domain.com) and an unlimited amount of subdomains (mail.domain.com, login.domain.com, test.domain.com, etc.).
What is the SSL Certificate Warranty? ExpandAn SSL certificate warranty covers any damages that you may incur as a result of a data breach or hack that was caused due to a flaw in the certificate. The warranties range in value, which means that the higher value certificates come with more extensive warranties.
