Domain Validated Certificates (DV)

The Comodo AutoSSL feature is enabled by default on every hosting plan. Don't know how to use them? Contact Us.
Let's Encrypt Certificates must be enabled by our Technical Support Team on the hosting account you require them. Please Contact Us if you want to activate these certificates.
Alpha SSL's are purchased through this link, you'll receive an e-mail message after the payment that you'll need to reply back with the required information. We will keep you updated by the same way once the Certificate is completed.
Comparison Chart for Domain Validated Certificates (DV)
Extended Validation Certificates (EV)
The highest level certificates but not because of its encryption features, they work technically the same as the domain validated certificate, this is because of the data validation process and how the certificates are displayed in the browser. In other words, your visitors will be able to get a higher level of trust if they see this certificate; prominently displaying the verified company name helps distinguish the site from phishing or impostor sites.
To sign an extended validation certificate a certificate authority (CA) requires verification of the requesting entity's identity and its operational status with it's control over domain name and hosting server. This could take up to 7 days.
For this reason, the green bar will now show the full company name along with the country of origin. This some times will alternate with the CA name.
