Frequently asked questions.
What is an SSL Certificate?
An SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate is a X.509 digital security certificate, that get used for securing communications between a web server and a client through encryption.
Why Is an SSL Certificate Important for a Website?
The primary reason to have an SSL certificate for a website is to encrypt communication between clients & web servers and to prevent warning messages like "Not Secure" in web browsers.
What Does HTTPS Mean for Website Visitors?
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is a combination of two protocols, HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) with SSL (Secure Socket Layer). In other words, an SSL certificate gets embedded in the HTTP protocol once the SSL certificate gets installed on a web server.
What Is TLS Certificate?
TLS (Transport Layer Security) is an updated and more secure SSL version. However, the SSL term gets more commonly used due to its popularity. Henceforth, whenever someone purchases an SSL certificate from CA (Certificate Authority) like Comodo, Sectigo, and Certera, the buyer purchases a TLS certificate.
How Do I Secure a Subdomain?
To secure a sub-domain, you must go for a Wildcard SSL certificate. It secures one main domain and an unlimited sub-domain. Similarly, it's available in two validation types, DV and OV. And if you own multiple primary domains and associated sub-domains, then Multi-Domain Wildcard SSL Certificate is for you.
What's the Difference Between OV and EV SSL Certificates?
OV SSL certificate helps secure websites dealing with an organization's data, such as government or NGO websites. And an EV SSL certificate is for websites that deal with financial transactions like credit card or bank account details, such as e-commerce websites.
How Long Does It Take to Get an SSL Certificate Issued?
DV SSL certificate gets issued within minutes once you confirm an email sent to you by the CA. An OV SSL certificate takes around one to three business days, and an EV SSL certificates take around one to five business days to get issued.
What Do I Need to Perform SSL Validation?
If you're ordering a DV SSL certificate, all you need to do is confirm one email that you receive from CA on registered email with your domain name listed on record listing websites like WHO IS. And, if you're ordering an OV or EV SSL certificate, you'll need to provide certain documents before issuance to prove your business is legit and has a physical existence in your country.
What Is a Site Seal?
Site seals are small images provided with an SSL certificate. For example, the DV SSL certificate has a static site seal, and an OV & EV SSL certificate has a dynamic site seal, showing company information with the current time. Likewise, static and dynamic site seal helps visitors know that the site is trustworthy and verified by a recognized third-party web security company.
