Cheap SSL Certificates

SSL certificate creates a secure tunnel for passing the information shared between the server and users. It encrypts the data-in-transit and assures that it is intact and not eavesdropped on by a third party. SSL works on the public key and private key. A public key is used to encode the data, while a private key decodes the data.

SSL encrypts the information between the server and the browser, making MiTM, sniffing, phishing attacks next to impossible with solid encryption. If the data travels in plain text, a third party can read and change it. Therefore, purchasing the cheapest SSL certificate is the best way to secure the website.

HTTPS certificates are diverse and designed to serve different types of websites. There is a single domain, wildcard certificate, multi-domain certificate, multi-domain wildcard SSL, Code Signing certificate, Extended Validation (EV) SSL. These certificates can be classified into three validations types: Domain Validation, Organization Validation, and Extended Validation.

DV SSL: Domain Validation (DV) offers a primary level of validation where the certificate authority checks WHOIS information and domain ownership to issue the certificate.

OV SSL: The certificate authority verifies the organization's operation details and the third-party business directory details to prove an organization's credibility. It is a slightly upper level of validation compared to domain validation.

EV SSL: Extended Validation (EV) offers the highest level of validation where the certificate authority checks the business's operation and legal status along with the verification of a third-party business directory to verify the listed business phone number.

Your website has an HTTPS web address and a secured grey padlock that ensures the site is secured. While in the case of an Extended Validation certificate, you can click on a padlock; there, you can find a company name in the dropdown box.

After Google's initiative, all browsers now require a secured website, whether a blog, ecommerce or any website. Unless a site has an SSL/TLS certificate, the browser will throw a "Not Secure" warning, which causes visitors to move away from the site.
