SECTIGO SSL MULTI-DOMAIN CERTIFICATE

SSL Secure Sockets Layer is a standard security technology that allows encrypted communication between web browsers and web servers. It is used by millions1Individuals and online businesses can work together to reduce the risk of sensitive information being stolen or tampered with (e.g. credit card numbers, usernames passwords emails, etc.).

Identity thieves and hackers can steal or alter your information. SSL is essentially a private conversation between two parties. This secure connection can be created by installing an SSL certificate. The “digital certificate”, also known as a “digital cert”, is installed on a website server and serves two purposes:

It verifies the website’s identity (this ensures that visitors are not visiting a fake site).

These certificates can be issued in minutes because they have the simplest verification process of SSL certificates. DV certificates can be obtained quickly, but they are not as trusted as the other validation levels.

No. There are many types of SSL certificates. They can be based on how many domain names or subdomains you own, such as:

Single– One fully qualified domain name or subdomain is secured

Wildcard– One domain name is covered and unlimited subdomains

Multi-Domain– secures multiple domain names

The level of validation required, such as:

Domain validation – This level covers basic encryption as well as verification of ownership of domain name registrations. This certificate is usually received within a few hours.

Validation of Organization – In addition to the basic encryption and verification that the domain name registration is registered, authenticated details about the owner (e.g. name and address) will be provided. It can take a few hours or several days for this type of certificate to be issued.

Extended Validation (EV) – This certificate provides the highest level of security due to the rigorous examination performed before it is issued. The guidelines established by the SSL industry’s governing consortium are strict. The legal, physical, and operational existence of an entity are all verified. It usually takes several days to receive this type of certificate.

To establish secure connections via the Internet, trust certificates can be used. To circumvent malicious parties that happen to be traveling to the target server, a certificate is necessary.

The certificate signing request is the first step towards obtaining your SSL/TLS certificate. The CSR is generated on the same server where you intend to install the certificate. It contains information such as common name, organization, country and more that will be used by the Certificate Authority (CA).

It is recommended that before you order SSL certificates, you create a Certificate Signing request (CSR). Find out more about SSL certificates

CSRs are an encrypted file that allows you to send Sectigo certificate public keys in a standard way. They also contain information that uniquely identifies your company as well as your domain name. Most server software will ask for the following information when you create a CSR: Common name (e.g. www.example.com), company name and location (country/state/province/city/town), key type (typically RSA) and key size (2048-bit minimum).

Don’t worry if you’re not sure of your exact location or company name when you create the CSR. We can modify and finalize this information during our review before we issue the certificate.

After your CSR has been created, copy it and paste it in the online order form to buy your SSL certificate.
