SSL certificates

Let your visitors see the padlock

Four certificates, from domain validated to extended validation. We install them and renew them before they expire.

  • Trusted by all browsers
  • We install it
  • Renewed before it expires

If you host with us, SSL is already free

Every hosting plan gets a Let’s Encrypt certificate that’s installed and renewed automatically. It’s enough for blogs, company sites and most stores. Paid certificates are for the cases below.

How it works

Three steps from order to padlock

  1. 1

    Place your order

    Choose the certificate and term. You enter your domain in the order.

  2. 2

    Validation

    For DV and Wildcard, a single DNS record or email approval. For OV and EV, company documents are required.

  3. 3

    Installation

    If your hosting is with us, we install it. If it’s elsewhere, we send you the files and installation steps.

Not sure which one fits?

Our sales team can suggest a plan for your needs.

  • The encryption is the same. The difference is in validation and warranty: paid OV/EV certificates verify your company, show its name in the certificate, and come with a warranty from the authority. For the padlock alone, free is enough.

Pick the right certificate for your site.
