SSL certificates by validation type

Increase your end user’s confidence and transaction rates by showing your true identity online. An EV SSL certificate provides the highest trust level and is the industry standard for business and eCommerce websites. This validation level will enable your company name to be added to the browser interface in a branded address bar.

Validate your organization’s digital identity and secure sensitive customer data with an OV SSL certificate. This validation type authenticates connections, encrypts data, and activates web browser trust indicators.

DV SSL certificates offer the fastest and easiest way to enable encryption and remove security warnings for your site. Providing industry-standard protection, they are ideal for blogs, personal sites, and small businesses needing fast, reliable security.

SSL certificates by domain coverage

Secure your main domain and unlimited subdomains under a single certificate. Wildcard SSL certificates are the most convenient way to provide SSL protection and encryption for a domain and its subdomains.

Secure up to 100 domain names with a single certificate. Multi-domain SSL Certificates (sometimes referred to as SAN/UCC certificates) enable a single certificate to secure multiple domain names, including their subdomains.

Secure an individual domain with a Sectigo Single SSL certificate. Single Domain certificates are available in Domain Validation, Organizational Validation, and Extended Validation options. Includes a Trust Logo real-time assurance seal.

An SSL certificate provides a way to authenticate the identity and secure connections for a website. The TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol—often still referred to by its older name, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)—enables encrypted communications between two machines, and an SSL certificate is a small data file leveraging this security protocol to complete the following functions:

Authentication – SSL certificates serve as credentials to authenticate the identity of a website. The validation level depends on the type of certificate purchased.
Secure data communication – When installed on a web server, an SSL activates the HTTPS protocol and creates a secure connection between the server and a browser. The padlock icon will also appear in the web browser.

Certificate issuance from a trusted CA, like Sectigo, will be recognized by browsers as legitimate and will enable the security indicators in the browser.

The type of domain or domains you’re trying to secure will determine if you need an EV, OV, or DV SSL certificate.

Domain Validation SSL certificates

DVs provide the fastest and cheapest way to secure a website. The validation process only requires proof of domain name ownership. The simplicity of this process allows these SSL certificates to be issued in minutes. This type works best for domains that don’t need to establish site visitor trust such as internal sites, test servers, and test domains.

Organization Validation SSL certificates

An OV SSL certificate provides the same level of protection as a DV certificate but shows that the individual or organization has been validated by a CA. To obtain an OV certificate, proof of domain ownership must be provided and a CA must confirm the legitimacy of the business or organization associated with the domain. Company name, address, and other details must be confirmed before issuance is completed. An OV SSL works for public-facing websites but is not recommended for those requesting sensitive information.

Extended Validation SSL certificates

EV certificates provide the highest level of trust due to the strict validation process that must be completed before issuance. Once company details are confirmed, a human specialist will perform the last steps in the vetting process. This is the preferred SSL type for websites that request personal information and is the industry standard for eCommerce websites.

Once you’ve chosen the type of SSL certificate you need, the online purchase process with Sectigo is simple. Add your certificate to the cart and create a new account or log in to your existing account. From there, you’ll be able to complete the checkout process and we will provide you with detailed next steps on issuance depending on the level of validation selected. This will take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days after all required documents are received, depending on the type.

An SSL certificate issued from Sectigo, a leading Certificate Authority, starts at $110 for a one year single domain DV SSL. Pricing varies from there, depending on the validation level, how many domains are being secured, and the subscription plan chosen.
