SSL guide
Choosing the right SSL certificate
All of our certificates use the same strong encryption. The difference is how much is verified about you, and how much of the work is done for you.
DV, OV or EV?
Domain validated (DV) certificates confirm you control the domain and are issued in minutes, ideal for blogs, portfolios and most small business sites.
Organization validated (OV) certificates also verify your business. Extended validation (EV) provides the most thorough verification and is recommended for stores and sites that handle sensitive data.
One site, five sites or a wildcard?
Single-site certificates protect one website. Multi-site certificates cover up to five. A wildcard protects your main domain plus unlimited subdomains, such as shop.yourbusiness.com and help.yourbusiness.com.
Standard or Deluxe Automated?
Certificate validity periods keep getting shorter, which means reinstalling more often. Standard certificates are installed and renewed by you. Deluxe Automated certificates include a guided install, automatic re-installation, change monitoring and a dashboard to track every certificate.
Already hosting with us?
Managed WordPress plans include SSL, and cPanel Deluxe and Ultimate include AutoSSL for every site. Check what your plan already covers before buying a separate certificate.
