Pick the right TLS certificate for your site, your subdomains, or your multi-domain stack.
SSL/TLS certificates encrypt traffic between a browser and your server, prevent the "Not Secure" warning, and tell visitors that a real, verified site stands behind the address bar. Seven options below cover everything from a fast DV install on a single domain to Enterprise EV protection across 500 hostnames.
Seven SSL/TLS variants — by validation level (DV/OV/EV) and coverage (single, subdomains, multi-domain).
The fastest, most affordable way to add HTTPS to a single domain. Issued in minutes.
Organization-validated — your verified company name is embedded inside the certificate.
OV validation, three domains, subdomain coverage, and a $250K warranty.
Maximum identity assurance with full Extended Validation and a $1.75M warranty.
Secure unlimited subdomains under one domain (*.yourdomain.com) with a single certificate.
Secure up to 500 different domains and hostnames under one OV certificate.
Multi-domain coverage with the highest Extended Validation tier — for high-trust environments.
| Basic | High Assurance | Premium | Enterprise EV | Wildcard | Multi-Domain | EV UCC/SAN | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Validation | DV | OV | OV | EV | OV | OV | EV |
| Domains | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 1 + all subs | Up to 500 | Up to 500 |
| Warranty | $10K | $50K | $250K | $1.75M | $1.25M | Standard | $1.25M |
| Issued in | Minutes | 1–3 days | 1–3 days | 3–7 days | 1–3 days | 1–3 days | 3–7 days |
DV (Domain Validation) only proves you control the domain — issued in minutes. OV (Organization Validation) verifies your business identity — typically 1–3 days. EV (Extended Validation) performs the most rigorous identity vetting — 3–7 days, plus the highest warranty tier.
Single domain protects one FQDN. Wildcard protects one domain plus unlimited subdomains (*.yoursite.com). Multi-domain (UCC/SAN) protects several different domain names under one certificate. If you're unsure, the SSL wizard recommends one in under a minute.
If you handle customer data, take payments, or get reviewed by procurement/audit teams, yes. The verified-organization line in the certificate matters to anyone who actually inspects it — and to compliance reviewers.
No — browsers removed that visual in 2019. EV still verifies your company identity, but no modern browser shows it in the address bar. The value is now in audit/compliance and the high warranty tier.
Yes — SSL.com supports ACME (RFC 8555). All single-domain TLS variants work with Certbot, cert-manager, Caddy, Traefik, and every ACME-compatible client.
Five questions, sixty seconds. Our SSL wizard recommends the right certificate for your domains, your validation needs, and your budget.
