SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate providers provide authentication and security for web domains. When it comes to authentication, they verify the ownership of the domain and other details related to the domain owner, such as name and address. In terms of security, SSL certificates provide end-to-end encryption between web domains and servers. This protects sensitive data such as credit card numbers, usernames, passwords, and emails. Obtaining an SSL certificate produces a visual indicator (such as a padlock in a URL box) that reassures visitors that what they are accessing is trusted and secure.
Those seeking SSL certification may also be interested in TLS (Transport Layer Security), which offers the same services and stronger security as SSL providers.
An SSL certificate provider contains the following identifiable characteristics:
* and server encryption.
Domain name verification. Scalability.
Customer support. Mobile solutions.
Multi-certificate management.
Most SSL certificate providers offer the same basic functionality. Some providers are better suited for smaller companies with a single domain or few domains, while others are better suited for larger organizations with complex** infrastructure. Solutions for complex organizations cost much more than basic solutions, but they do offer more granular solutions that can better handle this complexity.
The ** of the SSL certificate depends on the type of service required by your domain, DV type, OV type, EV type. For a single-domain certificate, you can expect to pay between $30 and $900 per year. This estimate depends on whether you need domain name and organization verification and the level of security. For a multi-domain subscription, you can expect to pay between $240 and $1,600 per year. The cost depends on the number of domains you need SSL verified. For wildcard subscriptions, you can expect to pay between $790 and $2,800 per year. Most vendors offer discounted prices for multi-year subscriptions.
