How to choose an SSL certificate

SSL certificates provide security for the transfer of personal data, passwords, and bank card numbers between a website and a user. There are different certificates for different purposes.

SSL brands:

Website

DV certificate with domain validation

This certificate is tied to your domain name and provides reliable data encoding for your website.

A DV certificate is issued within 5 minutes.

Online store

OV certificate with organization validation

This certificate is required for e-commerce and online sales.

An OV certificate identifies the website owner and contains a company name. Fraudsters will not be able to pass the validation check and get this certificate.

Once this certificate is obtained, a company name is displayed in the browser bar. Such websites are more trustworthy for visitors.

Domain and subdomain

IDN certificate

This certificate supports domains in national languages.

If your website domain name does not contain standardized ASCII characters, you need to get an IDN certificate which shows that the local-language characters have been properly converted using ASCII-compatible encoding.

Mail server

Wildcard certificate

This certificate allows the usage of SSL encryption for a domain and its subdomains.

Subdomains must have the same second-level domain name (i.e. domain.com).
