These unencrypted sites are marked in red in the URL over the padlock to warn users that the site is not secure.<\/p>\n<p>Users then have the choice of continuing to the site or leave.<\/p>\n<p>SSL certificates are issued to the websites by a trusted third party known as a \u2018Certificate Authority\u2019 (CA) and are available in a variety of types and validation levels. But, before we dive into the types of SSL certificates, let us discuss what is an SSL certificate and why you need an SSL certificate?<\/p>\n<h2>What is an SSL certificate?<\/h2>\n<p>Secure socket layer (SSL) certification is used to set up a secure connection between your website and your visitor\u2019s browser.<\/p>\n<p>This process of setting up an encrypted and secure connection is known as SSL handshake- a key that encrypts and decrypts the data, leading to secure data transmission between a web server and a web browser.<\/p>\n<p>These certificates are usually installed on web pages that request sensitive information from users, such as payment details or a password.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1459 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.parallaxhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Secure-SSL-certificate.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"583\" height=\"33\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/parallaxhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Secure-SSL-certificate.png 583w, https:\/\/parallaxhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Secure-SSL-certificate-300x17.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 583px) 100vw, 583px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 583px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 583\/33;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I need an SSL certificate for my website?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want to prove your identity and legitimacy to your website visitors, then you definitely need to add an SSL certificate to your website.

You get higher revenue per transaction and higher lifetime customer value.<\/li>\n<li>Indicates your website has passed the same security checks as the other major websites.<\/li>\n<li>With a Comodo EV certificate, you get a set of tools that instantly win the trust of your customers and convert more sales.<\/li>\n<li>Highest SSL security levels \u2013 2048-bit digital signatures throughout entire certificate chain and up to 256-bit encryption as standard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1461 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.parallaxhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/green-bar.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"646\" height=\"207\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/parallaxhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/green-bar.png 646w, https:\/\/parallaxhosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/green-bar-300x96.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 646px) 100vw, 646px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 646px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 646\/207;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Organization Validated (OV) SSL Certificate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An Organization Validation SSL certificate also ensures high level of security and trust. Each OV SSL certificate includes validation of complete business details- name, address, domain name and other information of the company or business. It provides instant identity assurance and strong encryption.<\/p>\n<p>However, OV SSL certificate does not possess the ability to turn the browser address bar green. Instead, it displays the padlock and HTTPS in a green color which informs the visitor that the online business or website is validated and is safe to proceed with any type of transactions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Domain Validated (DV) SSL certificates<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No doubt, Domain validated SSL certificate provides the same high level of data encryption as the other validation levels but it does not authenticate or validate the business identity, behind the website.<\/p>\n<p>Note: When you buy https certificate, make sure the certificate type you require is signed by a Certificate Authority with a 2048-bit root as if it is less than 2048 bit in length, then it could be vulnerable to attack.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Single Domain SSL Certificates<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This single domain SSL certificate allows a customer to secure one subdomain (completely Qualified Domain Name) on one single certificate. For example, when you purchase a SSL certificate for www(dot)example(dot)com it will allow customers to secure any and all pages on www(dot)example(dot)com\/, but it won\u2019t apply to mai(ldot)example(dot)com.<\/p>\n<p>It provides protection against data theft and bolsters your overall security.<\/p>\n<p>You can use single domain SSL Certificates to secure: one domain (both www &amp; non-www variations), individual sub-domain, hostname, IP address and mail server.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.\u00a0\u00a0Wildcard\u00a0SSL Certificate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Comodo Wildcard SSL certificate allows businesses to secure one single domain and its multiple sub-domains. For example, a wildcard certificate for \u2018*.example(dot)com\u2019 could also be used to secure \u2018payments(dot)example(dot)com\u2019,\u2019login(dot)example(dot)com\u2019, etc. but it won\u2019t secure \u2018article(dot)shop(dot)example(dot)com\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>When you add any subdomain to your website, a wildcard certificate will automatically secure that or many, in the future.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of people ask us \u2013\u00a0why are wildcard SSL certifications a lot more expensive than single domain SSL certificates?<\/p>\n<p>So, answering it here. A wildcard SSL certificate allows companies to secure unlimited sub-domains on a single certificate. So, although a single wildcard SSL may be costlier than a single domain SSL certificate, but, when we compare the complete scenario, a wildcard SSL proves to be overall cost-effective when compared to buying multiple single SSL certificates.<\/p>\n<p>They also reduce the number of certificates that need to be tracked.<\/p>\n<p>Thus,\u00a0Wildcard SSL certificate\u00a0provides a very cost-effective alternative to buying many single domain SSL certificates and help simplify the certificate management process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.\u00a0\u00a0Multi-Domain SSL Certificate (MDC):\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Multi-Domain SSL certificate allows business website owners to secure multiple domains on one certificate and add or remove domains at any time. It enables them to keep track of a single certificate with a unified expiry date for all the domains, instead of keeping tabs on multiple certificates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a07.\u00a0Unified Communications Certificate (UCC):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unified Communications Certificates are exclusively crafted to secure Microsoft\u00ae Exchange and Office Communications\u2019 environments. With a UC certificate, customers can secure 100 domains using a single certificate. UC uses SAN for this purpose.<\/p>\n<h2>Why does an SSL certificate cost money?<\/h2>\n<p>Different browsers trust slightly different sets of authorities, so companies recognized by most browsers have a competitive advantage.\u00a0The certificate that\u2019s signed by a non-approved CA brings up a scary warning that the site shouldn\u2019t be trusted.<\/p>\n<p>People who\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/parallaxhosting.com\/pages\/ssl.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">buy SSL certificates<\/a>\u00a0usually need their users\u2019 trust, so they do not want to opt for a certificate that generates warning for their site. So, one pays the price for availing encryption as well as authentication as the price for an SSL certificate.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any query about securing your site with SSL certificates, do let me know through comments.
