Premium SSL Certificate

An SSL certificate is a digital document that provides a secure connection between visitors and your website. It enables encrypted communication via HTTPS and verifies domain ownership.

• Guarantees the security of personal and sensitive data;
• Establishes trust by showing a padlock in the browser;
• Protects against fake versions of your site;
• Improves search engine rankings.

There are three main types of SSL certificates, depending on the level of verification and purpose:

• DV (Domain Validation) – verifies only the domain, suitable for personal sites and blogs;
• OV (Organization Validation) – verifies both the domain and the organization, suitable for company websites;
• EV (Extended Validation) – highest level of security with detailed verification, suitable for online stores and banks.

Standard paid SSL certificates are usually valid for 1 year. If you use Let's Encrypt, certificates are automatically renewed every 90 days.

Both types encrypt the connection, but premium certificates (EV) show additional information in the address bar and require more thorough validation. This provides additional trust for your customers.

A Multi-Domain SSL certificate (also known as a SAN certificate) allows you to protect multiple different domains with one certificate – for example: example.com, shop.example.com, and example.net.

With a standard SSL certificate, you protect one domain. If you want to protect multiple domains:

• Wildcard certificate protects all subdomains of a given domain (e.g., *.example.com);
• Multi-Domain certificate protects up to 100 different domains or subdomains within one certificate.

Both options provide HTTPS encryption, but they are not meant for exactly the same use cases.

• Let’s Encrypt is free and is an excellent choice for basic protection on standard websites;
• Sectigo offers paid DV and OV certificates, wildcard options, a trust seal and higher warranties;
• Paid SSL is more suitable for business websites, stores, client portals and projects with more subdomains.

Sectigo is an international digital trust provider and one of the best-known names in the SSL/TLS certificate market. The company offers SSL certificates for domains, organizations, wildcard coverage and other products related to website security and identity.

Yes, in some cases it does.

• If you need wildcard protection for many subdomains;
• If you want OV validation for stronger business trust;
• If the project is a store, portal or company website where stronger commercial positioning matters.
