    Validity period

    You can purchase most of our SSL certificates for five years, and our Extended SSL certificate for up to two years. This means you'll have no worries about renewing your certificate each year, your website will stay protected ... and you can even take advantage of the extra savings available when you buy for longer.

    Encryption level

    Encryption scrambles the information that's sent between your website and a visitor's web browser.

    The encryption level indicates how secure that information is.

  • Secures www and
    non-www sites

    Secures both www and non-www sites

    Our SSL certificates secure both versions of your domain name (http://www.
    yourdomain.com     and http://
    yourdomain.com    ) in a single SSL certificate. There's no need to pay extra. And because you only have to buy one certificate (not two), it could cut your SSL costs in half.

    		•  yes yes yes yes
  • Warranty

    Warranty

    Our SSL supplier, GlobalSign, offers a liability programme which is underwritten by an insurance company. This protects you and your customers if the certificate is issued or used incorrectly.

  • Typical issuance speed

    Typical issuance
    speed

    SSL certificates are always issued as quickly as possible. However, because some of them require quite detailed checks, it can take a few days to get the certificate created for you.

  • Vetting

    Vetting

    The vetting process is simply to ensure you are who you claim to be. It's nothing personal - everyone who buys an SSL certificate gets checked.

    AutoCSR

    Simple set up with AutoCSR

    A CSR is a certificate signing request, and you need one to order a SSL certificate. If your website is hosted with us, we will create the CSR for you (AutoCSR) and install it for you. If you don't have hosting with us, we will walk you through how to set this up yourself manually.

  • Strong security in older
    browsers with SGC

    Strong security in older browsers

    Some older web browsers don't support strong encryption. Our SSL certificates use a technology called SGC to 'step up' weak browsers to a minimum of 128 bit encryption - keeping visitors using older browsers secure too.

    		•  yes yes yes yes
  • Server licenses

    Server licences

    Many SSL certificates only let you install them on a single server. This means if you have more than one server (for backup, or because you run a very busy site), you have to purchase several certificates.

    Many of our SSL certificates come with unlimited licenses. This allows you to install them onto unlimited servers, saving you money.
