Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about SSL certificates.

What is an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate encrypts the connection between your website and visitors' browsers. It protects sensitive data like passwords and credit card numbers, enables HTTPS, and displays the padlock icon that signals trust.
What's the difference between DV, OV, and EV SSL?
DV (Domain Validation) verifies domain ownership only and is issued in minutes — ideal for blogs and small sites. OV (Organization Validation) also verifies your business identity, better for ecommerce. EV (Extended Validation) has the most rigorous checks and is designed for banks and enterprise sites.
How long does it take to get my SSL certificate?
DV certificates are issued in 5-10 minutes. OV certificates take 1-3 business days for company verification. EV certificates take 3-7 business days due to thorough legal and identity checks.
What is a Wildcard SSL certificate?
A Wildcard SSL certificate secures your main domain and all its first-level subdomains (e.g., mail.example.com, shop.example.com, blog.example.com) with a single certificate, simplifying management and renewal.
Can you help install my SSL certificate?
Yes! We provide free SSL installation support. If your hosting uses cPanel or Plesk, SSL installs in one click. For other servers, open a support ticket and our team will install it for you on Apache, Nginx, or IIS.
Will SSL improve my Google rankings?
Yes. Google has confirmed HTTPS as a ranking signal. Websites with SSL certificates rank higher than non-secure sites. Additionally, browsers display "Not Secure" warnings for HTTP sites, which hurts user trust and conversion rates.
Do I need SSL if I don't process payments?
Yes. SSL protects all data exchanged between your site and visitors — including login credentials, contact forms, and personal information. Google also marks all HTTP pages as "Not Secure" regardless of content.
How do I renew my SSL certificate?
We send renewal reminders before your certificate expires. You can renew through your client area with one click. The renewal process is the same as the initial purchase — validation is repeated to maintain security.
What happens if my SSL certificate expires?
Visitors will see a full-page browser warning saying your site is not secure. Most users will leave immediately. Search rankings may also drop. We recommend renewing at least 30 days before expiration.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all SSL certificates. If you're not satisfied for any reason, contact us within 30 days for a full refund.
