The padlock, and what it takes to earn it
Every site needs HTTPS. What differs is how much the authority checks before it signs: your domain, your company, or your company in depth. We sell all three, check your CSR before it is sent, and tell you before it expires.
- Issued in 15 minutes
- Free, unlimited reissues
- Full chain, ready to install
- DVYour domain is checked. Minutes, no paperwork.
- OVYour company is checked and named inside it.
- EVThe strictest check, and the largest warranty.
SSL certificate benefits
Customer trust is the reason to buy one. No fuss and someone to call is the reason to buy it from us.
The encryption is the same on all of them
Every certificate we sell uses 2048 to 4096-bit keys and encryption up to 256-bit. A cheaper certificate is not a weaker one: what rises with the price is how deeply the authority checks who you are, not the strength of the padlock.
Browsers stop calling your site not secure
Without HTTPS a browser writes "Not secure" in the address bar before a visitor has read a word of your page. Google has also said HTTPS is one of the signals it ranks on, so going without is paid for twice.
The padlock people actually look for
The root is carried by 99.9% of browsers and operating systems in ordinary use, so visitors see a padlock rather than a warning they have to click through. On organisation and extended validation your company name is inside the certificate too.
It works on whatever you run
Any server, any control panel. Every certificate covers both the www and the bare version of your domain, so one certificate does the job people often buy two for.
Free, unlimited reissues
Change server, add a name or lose a key and we reissue the certificate for nothing, as many times as you need, for the whole term.
Ready to install, and we watch the clock
Download the certificate, the CA bundle or the full chain from your client area, ready for any server or control panel. An expired certificate takes a site down in every browser at once, so we track the date and tell you in good time.
Eight certificates, one table
Prices are per year. A longer term is paid once and holds the rate, so the yearly figure falls as the term lengthens.

Prices are per certificate per year and exclude taxes where they apply. A longer term is paid once, up front, and locks the rate for the whole period.
Prices exclude taxes where they apply. Multi-domain certificates include three domains; more are added at the rate shown on the certificate's own page. Every certificate can be reissued free and as often as you need.
Answer one question and you are most of the way there

Domain, organisation or extended
The encryption does not change between them. What changes is how much the authority checks before it signs, how long that takes, and how much it will stand behind.

Every figure here is read from the certificate catalogue, so it says the same thing as each certificate's own page. Wildcard and multi-domain availability reflects the certificates we actually sell at that level.
What the authority actually checks
This is the only real difference between certificates. The encryption is identical on all of them.
Domain validation
Proves you control the domain, by email, a DNS record or a file on the server. Minutes, no paperwork, and the padlock looks the same as any other.
Organisation validation
The authority confirms your company is real and that you run it, then names it inside the certificate. A couple of days and some paperwork.
Extended validation
The strictest check there is, and the largest warranty. About a fortnight, and the authority will want company records.
Encryption strength does not change between them. What changes is how much a visitor can find out about who is behind the site.
From order to padlock
- 1
Tell us the domain
Order the certificate and send us the domain it is for. If you are not sure which certificate, ask first — we would rather you bought the right one.
- 2
Prove you control it
A link in an email, a DNS record or a file on the server. Use whichever suits your setup. Organisation and extended validation add a company check on top.
- 3
Ready to install
Download the certificate, the CA bundle or the full chain from your client area, ready for you, your developer or your host to install on any server or panel.

We watch the clock
An expired certificate takes a site down in every browser at once, so we track the date and remind you in good time.
What you get whichever you pick
Free, unlimited reissues
Change server, add a name or lose a key and we reissue the certificate for nothing, as many times as you need, for the life of the term.
2048 to 4096-bit keys
Modern key lengths with encryption up to 256-bit, which is what every current browser and operating system expects.
Trusted by 99.9% of browsers
The root is carried by every browser and operating system in ordinary use, so visitors see a padlock rather than a warning.
Your CSR checked first
We read your CSR before it goes to the authority and flag a missing or mismatched name, then deliver the certificate with its full chain, ready to install.
Reminders before it lapses
An expired certificate takes a site down in every browser at once. We watch the dates and tell you in good time.
15-day refund
If the certificate turns out to be the wrong one, say so within fifteen days and we refund it.
Questions before you buy
Do I really need an SSL certificate?
Yes. Browsers mark a site without HTTPS as "not secure" in the address bar, and search engines prefer sites that have it. Anything that takes a login or a form needs one.

Tell us the domain and we will find the right certificate.
Send us the name you want secured and what the site does. We will say which certificate fits, check your CSR covers every name, and have it issued ready to install.
