SSL certificates
A safer connection begins with HTTPS.
An SSL certificate supports encrypted connections between visitors and your website. Choose a certificate that matches the names your site uses.
Know which names you need
Single-domain, multi-domain and wildcard certificates cover different sets of hostnames. DV, OV and EV options appear in the catalog.
Validate domain control
A certificate issuer requires a domain validation step. Keep access to the correct DNS or website verification path.
Plan installation and renewal
Install the certificate on the serving infrastructure and track renewal. A demo SSL order does not issue or install a certificate.
Before your next step
A few useful answers.
Does a certificate protect the whole application?+
A certificate encrypts the connection for covered names. Application updates, access control and safe data handling remain separate responsibilities.
Will a demo SSL order enable HTTPS?+
No. An issuer must validate the domain and issue a certificate, which then needs installation on live infrastructure.
