Secure SSL Domain Certificates

An SSL certificate encrypts the data transmitted between a user's web browser and your web server. This encryption helps protect sensitive information, such as login credentials, and other personal data.

SSL certificates provide visual cues to users that your website or web application is secure. When a website has an SSL certificate, it displays a padlock icon in the browser's address bar, and the website URL begins with "https://" instead of "http://". These indicators help establish trust and credibility with your users, showing that you take data security seriously and are committed to protecting their information.

SSL certificates can also have a positive impact on your website's search engine optimization (SEO). Major search engines like Google prioritize websites with HTTPS (secure) over HTTP (non-secure) in search rankings.

Understanding SSL Validation Levels

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a security protocol that encrypts data transmitted over the internet to ensure confidentiality and integrity. SSL certificates, issued by Certificate Authorities (CAs), provide authentication and validation of the identity of websites or servers. SSL certificates are issued at different validation levels, which determine the level of assurance provided to the visitors of a website.

It's important to note that while the validation level impacts the level of assurance provided to visitors, it does not affect the level of encryption provided by the SSL certificate. All SSL certificates, regardless of validation level, encrypt data transmitted between a web browser and a web server to ensure its confidentiality and integrity. The validation level mainly impacts the level of authentication and trust provided to visitors.

Validation (DV)

This is the basic level of SSL validation and verifies the ownership of the domain name. It does not require an extensive verification of the organisation requesting the certificate.
