SSL Certificates
The days of not providing secure HTTPS connections are long gone … it’s now a must have as sites that don’t have SSL Certificates installed are perceived as not safe and not reputable. Google drove the uptake of SSL certs when they recently started negatively ranking sites without SSL Certificates … effectively penalising web sites for not being secure
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a network security protocol for establishing an encrypted connection between a web site and a browser. In order to create an SSL connection a web site requires an SSL Certificate … this ensures that all data communicated between the web site and browser is private and secure
Servers also require SSL Certificates where HTTPS connections are required … 99.9% ubiquity, 99.9% guaranteed to work with web browsers for desktop and mobile devices
There are a few varieties of SSL Certificates … the base level cert is satisfactory for a lot of web sites but it’s important you understand what is available in order to make an informed decision
Types of SSL Certificates
There are 3 main types of SSL Certificates available are distinguished by their validation levels and subsequently their price points
Domain Validation (DV) certificates represent the entry point for SSL’s. In most cases a DV cert is sufficient
Organisation Validation (OV) certificates are the next step up from DV and take longer to verify business information. An OV SSL displays the same as a DV SSL, but provides a way for your customers to check your verified business information in the certificate details section
Extended Validation (EV) certificates require extensive business verification. An EV SSL displays your organisation’s name next to the URL in your browsers’ address bar
SSL Certificate Functionality
The 4 different types of SSL functionality are: Single Domain, Multi Domain, Wildcard and Multi Domain Wildcard
These options vary slightly in their functionality and number of domains and sub-domains you need to secure
We deal with SSL certificates every day so get in touch and we’ll provide a recommendation on the most suitable SSL Certificate type and functionality to meet your requirements
