SSL certificates, sometimes called digital certificates, are used to establish a secure encrypted connection between a visitor’s browser and your website. This encrypted SSL connection protects sensitive data from being exposed to unauthorised third parties.
Whether you need to secure one or many domains, we provide you with a full line of SSL certificate products to meet your needs.
See our online documentation on how to set up your web application with SSL once we’ve installed your SSL certificate.
Owner-validated
If website security is your number one priority, owner-validated SSL certificates are the best choice.
There are several parts to the owner validation process. First, DigiCert will verify that the company requesting a certificate is in good standing. This can include confirming good standing and active registration in corporate registries as well as fraud, phishing, and government restricted entities and anti-terrorism databases. Additionally, DigiCert verifies that the organisation requesting a certificate is, in fact, the organisation to which the certificate is being issued. This is especially true with Extended Validation SSL Certificates which require a series of extensive identity verifications.
Single-domain certificates
Single-name SSL certificates provide encryption and authentication for one
subdomain. A certificate for the subdomain www.example.com will also protect
the domain example.com itself, free of charge.

| DigiCert SSL Plus, 1 year | 239.00 € | 239.00 € |
Wildcard certificates
A standard SSL certificate would only protect a single subdomain like
www.example.com, requiring you to purchase an additional certificate for other
subdomains like shop.example.com. Wildcard certificates, on the other hand,
protect a domain and all of its first-level subdomains. For example, a
certificate for *.example.com secures www.example.com, mail.example.com,
etc.

Domain-validated
Domain-validated SSL certificates offer website traffic protection at a lower price point. Because they do not contain any details on their owner, their validation process requires less effort. The aim of our domain validation process for SSL certificates is to ensure that the individual requesting a certificate does, in fact, have authority to request a certificate for the domain in question.
Domain validation can include emails or phone calls to the contact listed in a
domain’s WHOIS record, as well as emails to specific administrative addresses at
the domain (e.g. webmaster@example.com
). In cases where a domain is controlled
by a party other than the party requesting a certificate, simple methods are in
place to quickly complete the process of getting approval to issue a certificate
from the actual domain owner.
Single-domain certificates
A Thawte single-domain certificate protects a single subdomain like
www.example.com. The domain itself, e.g. example.com, will be covered as well,
free of charge.
There is also the option of adding additional domain names as so-called subject
alternative names
, short SAN, at a premium. For details and prices, please
contact us from your customer dashboard.

Wildcard certificates

example.com.
