SSL certificates
An SSL certificate encrypts the connection between a website and its visitors and proves that the site belongs to the domain it claims, which browsers require before they show a page as secure.
Securing every site under your names
Browsers warn visitors before they open a site without a valid certificate, and a form or a payment page without one loses their trust at once. A certificate is now a condition for any website. For a company with many domains, the difficulty is less to obtain one than to keep every certificate valid, renewed in time and issued at the right level of validation.
Levels of validation
- Domain validation proves control of the domain. It suits most websites and is the simplest to obtain.
- Organisation validation also checks the company behind the domain, and shows it in the details of the certificate.
- Extended validation applies the most thorough checks of the company, for sites where trust is critical.
Depending on the certificate, it can cover a single name, several names, or all the subdomains at one level of a domain (a wildcard certificate).
How Domgate handles it
We provide SSL certificates for your domains, alongside NS records management, web hosting and email.
What you provide
- The names the certificate must cover.
- Where the certificate includes checks on the company, the documents the certificate authority asks for.
Who it is for
Companies with websites under many domains or in many countries, teams that want their certificates managed alongside their domains, and registrars and hosting providers who supply certificates to their clients.
SSL certificates: frequent questions
For most websites, domain validation is enough. Organisation or extended validation adds checks on the company and suits sites that handle payments or sensitive data.
It depends on the certificate: some cover several names, others all the subdomains at one level of a domain (a wildcard certificate).
The certificate is installed on the server that hosts the site.
