Encrypts communication to protect sensitive information your customers provide to you
Places a padlock next to your web address in the browser
Authenticates an organization's identity

Help Me Choose The Right Type of Certificate
While the need for online security is universal, not all SSL Certificates are created equal. The guide below is designed to help you decide which type of certificate is right for you.
Domain Validation (DV) Ideal for non-critical web pages
Think of DV like getting a library card—no confirmation of who you really are, very minimal requirements to obtain and issued very quickly.
- Verifies ownership and control of the domain name only
- Issued in minutes
- Maintains browser compliance
Organization Validation (OV) Ideal for more sensitive webpages such as login pages
Think of OV like getting a driver’s license—more hoops to jump through than a library card but more trusted as a form of identification.
- Enhanced validation including authenticating the identity of the applicant
- Issued within one day
- Maintains browser compliance
Extended Validation (EV) Ideal for sensitive webpages including ecommerce, online banking, account signups
Think of EV like getting a passport—much more stringent processes, longer lead times and more verification of who you are than with a library card or driver’s license. Recognized internationally as the most trusted way to verify your identity.
- Standards-based approach to authentication, representing the highest level of authentication for SSL Certificates
- Typically issued within 1-3 days
- Maintains browser and other industry compliance

Multi-Year SSL Certificates
Multi-year certificates allow you to pay a single discounted price for two or three years of SSL certificate coverage. When you purchase a multi-year SSL certificate, you lock in a single price for up to 3 years of coverage.
Initially, you will receive a certificate that is valid for the Certificate Authority Browser Forum's maximum allowed term (1 year and 1 month) with the right to unlimited certificate reissues during the order period.
Automated reissuance will occur automatically throughout the term to ensure continued protection for your website.
For example, a 2-year SSL certificate order works as follows:
SSL certificates must be revalidated periodically. The maximum certificate lifetime is 13 months, requiring revalidation annually.
Benefits
- Enjoy increasing discounts for each year of coverage that you purchase.
- Remove the hassle of annual billing.
