Domain Validated (DV) - SSL

Domain Validated (DV)

Need fast and easy website encryption? Don’t need seriously high-grade security and organization verification? Then a Domain Validated SSL Certificate is a great option.

Is a Domain Validated SSL right for me?



This type of domain verification only needs you to prove ownership and control of the actual domain you are looking to secure. It bypasses the more in-depth security checks that come with safeguarding larger or more data-sensitive websites. You can be set up and secure in minutes, and able to display a browser bar padlock to every visitor. If you have a small to medium-sized business and need fast and cost-effective domain verification, then this is for you. Domain Validation Certificates are great when all you need is simple security encryption, meaning you won’t handling too much customer data. They are perfect for things like test or development websites. This type of domain validation is not, however, recommended for more customer-sensitive or business-focused websites, such as ecommerce, login pages, webmail logins, or any site dealing with financial or personal data.
