What Is an SSL Certificate?

An SSL certificate enables HTTPS, which encrypts data travelling between a visitor's browser and your website. It helps protect information in transit and allows browsers to verify the website's certificate.

Modern HTTPS uses TLS technology, although the term “SSL certificate” remains commonly used.

Encrypted Connections

Protect information transmitted between visitors and your website against interception in transit.

HTTPS & Browser Trust

Help browsers establish a secure connection and avoid certificate-related security warnings.

Expert Configuration

Get assistance with certificate selection, installation and common HTTPS configuration issues.

Choose the Right Certificate

SSL Certificate Options

Domain Validation (DV)

Verifies control of the domain. Suitable for many standard business websites, blogs and online stores.

Organisation Validation (OV)

Includes additional checks on the organisation requesting the certificate.

Extended Validation (EV)

Certificate availability and validation requirements depend on the certificate provider and your website needs.
