SSL Certificates Types

Domain Validation SSL certificates

Domain Validation SSL certificates are available to all individuals, sole traders, businesses, organizations, and government entities. There is no need to supply any documents or process callbacks. You only need to pass domain ownership verification via one of the available methods. You can protect personal websites or even company portals and e-commerce projects.

Even Cheap SSL certificates provide the Static Site Seal logo, unlimited free reissues, unlimited server licensing, Google Rank booster, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We recommend them for small websites and projects that do not need to gain a higher trust level from end customers.

Business Validation (BV) SSL certificates

Business Validation (BV) SSL certificates, also known as Organization Validation (OV) certificates, are gaining popularity for their ability to display verified company details such as the organization’s name, address, and phone number. This added transparency helps build customer trust, enhances credibility, and can boost conversion rates. OV certificates provide a significantly higher warranty than Domain Validation (DV) SSLs.

XaniaHosting offers a range of OV SSL certificates from leading Certificate Authorities (CA) such as GeoTrust, Thawte, and DigiCert. Among the recommended options are GeoTrust True BusinessID certificates, which are known for their smooth validation process. Typically, validation takes a few business days, though it may sometimes extend. Each purchase is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, ensuring customer satisfaction and peace of mind.

Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates

Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates are the highest website security and trust standards. They offer unparalleled protection and are designed to provide maximum assurance to users. One of the standout features is the prominent display of the verified company name in the green address bar or dynamic Site Seal, a visual indicator that boosts user confidence. These certificates can significantly increase customer trust and have been shown to enhance conversion rates by up to 17.3%.

EV SSLs offer a much higher warranty, starting at $1,000,000, compared to Domain Validation (DV) and Organization Validation (OV) certificates, providing robust financial protection. They are highly recommended for businesses handling sensitive data, such as e-commerce platforms, financial institutions, government agencies, and online payment websites. Investing in an EV SSL certificate ensures enhanced security, greater trust, and potentially higher engagement from site visitors.

Wildcard SSL certificates

Wildcard SSL certificates are highly popular among users due to their cost-saving benefits and efficiency. These certificates allow you to secure unlimited subdomains under a single domain name, eliminating the need to purchase and manage separate SSL certificates for each subdomain.

Wildcard SSL certificates' flexibility is crucial, as they typically offer unlimited server licenses. You can install the SSL certificate on multiple servers and environments without additional costs. Additionally, all orders come with unlimited free reissues, ensuring flexibility for any configuration changes. They are also backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, offering peace of mind for any reason.

Multi-Domain SSL certificates

Multi-domain SSL certificates, also known as Subject Alternative Name (SAN) or Unified Communication Certificates (UCC), are designed to secure multiple domains and subdomains using a single certificate. These certificates benefit office communication platforms like Microsoft Exchange and Office Communication servers, streamlining management using the same CSR/Key, verification process, and installation files across all domains.

Multi-domain SSL certificates can support up to 250 domains and subdomains across unlimited servers, making them ideal for organizations with complex web infrastructures. Additionally, they offer flexibility through free and unlimited reissues, allowing users to add or modify domains effortlessly using an SSL management platform. This centralized approach reduces administrative overhead while ensuring robust security for multiple online properties.

Code Signing Certificates

In today’s digital era, online downloads have replaced mainly traditional software distribution via CDs or DVDs. Downloading software from the internet is fast and convenient, but it raises an important question: is it as safe as installing from a physical disk? When we purchase software on a CD or DVD, we can trust that it comes directly from the publisher, free from third-party tampering. However, online downloads carry the risk that malicious code could be inserted into the software.

Code Signing SSL Certificates address this concern by ensuring that software is authentic and has not been altered. These certificates allow publishers to digitally sign their applications, providing users with proof that the software is genuine and untampered. Users can verify the publisher’s identity and trust that the code is original when downloading a digitally signed application.

We strongly recommend avoiding the installation of any software that lacks a verified publisher's signature, as unsigned software could be compromised. Code Signing Certificates enhance user confidence and protect publishers from unauthorized modifications to their code.

Email & Document Signing

Personal Authentication SSL certificates enable users to sign and encrypt electronic communications, such as emails and files, ensuring the authenticity and security of sensitive data transmitted online. These certificates rely on public critical infrastructure (PKI) to verify that data remains untampered during transmission, preventing third parties from intercepting or reading private information.

With these certificates, users can confidently transmit confidential information over the internet. Additionally, they can be utilized for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), adding an extra layer of protection to secure online access and communications.
