SSL Certificates, also known as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates, authorize websites and enable them to move from HTTP to HTTPS encryption, safeguarding the transmission of sensitive data that users give to or receive from a website.

An SSL certificate on your website fosters user confidence, protects user data, confirms your website's ownership, and helps stop attackers from building a fake version of your website.
Your consumers may feel comfortable knowing that the information they enter on each secured page is encrypted when your site is protected by an SSL certificate.
Installing your certificate and safeguarding sensitive client data on your website is simple with Hostrove.

Authentication

SSL certificates confirm the domain ownership of clients and guard against spoofing and domain attacks.

Encryption

SSL/TLS encryption is possible thanks to the public/private key pairing that makes SSL certificates possible.
Clients obtain the public key required to establish a TLS connection from the server's SSL certificate.

HTTPS 

HTTPS web addresses require SSL certificates.
HTTPS (the secure version of HTTP) appears on websites that use SSL/TLS to encrypt traffic.
Furthermore, in addition to protecting user data, HTTPS conveys credibility and trust to site visitors.

There are three types of SSL certificates, and Hostrove provides all of them.
Each has varying degrees of security.
Understanding what type of SSL certificate to use is critical when dealing with personal user data.

• Domain validated (DV) SSL certificate. DV certificates confirm the site's owner.
  To confirm the legitimacy of the website, the Certificate Authority emails the registered email address of the website.
  The DV Certificate has the lowest level of trust because it is the easiest to obtain and does not require any specific corporate information.
• Organizationally validated (OV) SSL certificate. The organization, physical address, and domain name of the website must all be verified by the certificate authority.
  It takes two to three days to complete.
  OV certificates are suitable for public-facing websites with simple transactions because they have a moderate level of trust.
• Extended validation (EV) SSL certificate. For websites that deal with sensitive information, this SSL certificate offers the highest level of protection.
  The Certificate Authority carefully examines the applicant before issuing an EV SSL certificate; the evaluation procedure comprises inspection of company documents, confirmation of identification, and verification of pertinent information through a third-party database.

In the URL address bar, the prefix https:// is visible on all SSL-protected websites.
A green browser bar is displayed on websites secured with a Hostrove Premium EV SSL certificate to rapidly reassure site visitors that the company's legitimacy and physical location have been confirmed in accordance with rigorous industry standards.

The most thorough verification is done when you purchase a Hostrove Premium EV SSL certificate.
By authenticating the legal name, address, phone number, and other business information, we confirm the ownership of the domain and the authenticity of your company.
While the process takes roughly 30 days, we've got you covered.
In order to keep your transactions secure while you wait, Hostrove EV SSL certificates come with a free Standard SSL to utilize.

Answer the following questions to assist you in locating the SSL certificate you require:

1. Where do you live?

With a few exceptions, our certificates are issued worldwide.
See if you're covered by this list.

2. Do you have a personal or business website?

A Standard SSL certificate (DV) is sufficient unless you sell items on your personal website.
This is also true for business information websites.
A single-domain Standard SSL certificate (DV) or Premium SSL certificate should be used for eCommerce websites (EV).

3. What kind of web hosting server do you employ?

Our SSL certificates are compatible with the majority of hosting and server configurations.
Use a Multiple Domain UCC SSL to protect multiple domains on Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, Exchange Server 2010, or Live® Communications Server.

4. How many different domains do you need to protect?

Wildcard SSL certificates cover a variety of subdomains.
To secure *.coolexample.com, for instance, use a wildcard, which would also protect shop.coolexample.com, www.coolexample.com, and any other subdomains.

UCC SSL certificates will cover multiple domains, subdomains and websites. For example, you can secure www.coolexample.com, mail.coolexample.com, and www.awesomeexample.com.

5. Do you need an SSL certificate that supports Intel vPro technology for remote PC management? 

You’ll need our OV Deluxe certificate.

A Hostrove Standard SSL (DV) typically takes 5 minutes or less to complete.
Because we are validating not only domain ownership but also the existence of the organization or business on the SSL application, a Hostrove Deluxe SSL (OV) takes 3-5 business days.

There is an extensive vetting process for Hostrove Premium (EV) certificates that begins with an in-depth application.
Gather information about your company, such as its registration number, incorporation or registration agent, and any relevant jurisdiction information, before you begin.
