What is an SSL Certificate?

SSL Certificates are SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates that authenticate websites and allow them to switch from HTTP to HTTPS encryption, protecting the exchange of valuable information visitors send to or receive from a website. When you’ve got an SSL certificate protecting your site, your customers can rest assured that the information they enter on any secured page is encrypted. CLDY makes it easy to install your certificate and protect sensitive customer data on your site.

What is an SSL Certificate and why do I need it?

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. SSL certificate displays information to verify the owner of a website and encrypts web traffic with SSL/TLS including the public key, the issuer of the certificate, and associated subdomains. SSL is a protocol for encrypting Internet traffic and verifying server identity. All websites with an HTTPS web address make use of SSL or TLS, as it is otherwise known. You need an SSL Certificate to instill the user’s trust, keep user data secure, verify ownership of your website, and prevent attackers from creating a false version of your site. SSL certificates provide authentication, encryption, and the HTTPS trust factor.

How will people know my website is safe?

When a visitor enters an SSL-protected page on your website, their browser bar displays a padlock icon and the https:// prefix in the URL address. Visitors know that your website is secure once they see the padlock icon in your browser. You can also add a site seal so visitors can view your certificate status and accompanying details.

How do I install my SSL Certificate?

When your CLDY SSL Certificate is issued, we send an email to let you know. If you chose web hosting, Website Builder or Online Store will take care of everything for you. For installation on Parallels Plesk Panel, cPanel and Microsoft IIS, contact our sales engineers.

What is Domain Validation Certificate?

Domain Validated (DV) certificates are low-cost certificates that only require validation that a company or a person can demonstrate control over a web domain. A website owner receives a confirmation email from the issuing Certificate Authority. DV certificates are typically used by websites that do not conduct business or credit card transactions.

What is Organization Validation Certificate?

Organization Validation (OV) is a step up from Domain Validation and allows business information to be checked through the secure site seal. The issuing Certificate Authority checks that the applicant has the right to the domain name and is a legitimate business. An OV site seal typically includes the organization’s name for added trust.

What is Wildcard Certificate?

A wildcard certificate is a digital certificate applied to a domain and all its subdomains. Extending one certificate to subdomains rather than purchasing separate certificates can save money, simplify administration, and ensure that each subdomain is individually protected.

What is Extended Validation Certificate?

Extended Validation (EV) Certificate provides the maximum amount of trust to visitors and requires the certificate authority to conduct an intense investigation of a business before issuance. It shows the company or organization in the address bar and is recommended for eCommerce or corporate websites.
