It encrypts data transmitted between the user&#8217;s browser and your server, helping protect passwords, personal information, payment details, and other sensitive data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, SSL protection is considered a standard requirement for every website. Browsers display warnings for websites that do not use HTTPS, and search engines favor secure websites in their rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"mybox-232655586\" class=\"mybox-content

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An SSL certificate provides several benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Encrypts data transmitted between visitors and your website<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helps protect user accounts and personal information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increases visitor trust<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enables HTTPS connections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improves SEO and search engine visibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prevents browser security warnings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_SSL_Certificates\"><\/span>Types of SSL Certificates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Domain_Validation_DV\"><\/span>Domain Validation (DV)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DV certificates are the most common type of SSL certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To obtain one, you only need to prove ownership of the domain name. No business verification is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DV certificates are suitable for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blogs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personal websites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Portfolio websites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Small business websites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Landing pages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most websites today use DV certificates, including those issued automatically through Let&#8217;s Encrypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Organization_Validation_OV\"><\/span>Organization Validation (OV)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OV certificates require verification of both the domain and the organization behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The certificate authority verifies business information before issuing the certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OV certificates are commonly used by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Companies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Non-profit organizations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Educational institutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Government projects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They provide an additional level of trust because visitors can verify the organization operating the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Extended_Validation_EV\"><\/span>Extended Validation (EV)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EV certificates provide the highest level of validation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The certificate authority performs extensive checks on the organization before issuing the certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although modern browsers no longer display the company&#8217;s name as prominently as they once did, EV certificates are still used by organizations that require maximum trust and verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common users include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Banks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Financial institutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Large e-commerce businesses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Government organizations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Single-Domain_Wildcard_and_Multi-Domain_Certificates\"><\/span>Single-Domain, Wildcard, and Multi-Domain Certificates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides validation level, certificates can also differ by coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Single-Domain_Certificate\"><\/span>Single-Domain Certificate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protects a single domain name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>example.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wildcard_Certificate\"><\/span>Wildcard Certificate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protects a domain and all of its subdomains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>example.com<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>shop.example.com<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>mail.example.com<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>blog.example.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Multi-Domain_Certificate_SAN\"><\/span>Multi-Domain Certificate (SAN)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protects multiple unrelated domain names under a single certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>example.com<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>example.net<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>example.org<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_SSL_Certificate_Should_You_Choose\"><\/span>Which SSL Certificate Should You Choose?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most websites, a standard DV certificate is sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose a DV certificate if you run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A blog<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A company website<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A portfolio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A small online store<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A landing page<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider OV or EV certificates if your organization requires additional identity verification or operates in industries where trust and compliance are especially important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Free_vs_Paid_SSL_Certificates\"><\/span>Free vs Paid SSL Certificates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both free and paid SSL certificates use the same encryption standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main difference is the validation process and additional features provided by the certificate authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A free certificate is usually sufficient for most websites, while paid certificates may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Organization validation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extended validation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Warranty coverage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional support services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SSL_Certificates_on_mybox\"><\/span>SSL Certificates on mybox<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">mybox supports free SSL certificates through Let&#8217;s Encrypt, allowing you to secure your website quickly and automatically. For most websites, a free SSL certificate provides all the encryption and protection required to operate securely over HTTPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary\"><\/span>Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every website should use an SSL certificate. The most important decision is choosing the certificate type that matches your website&#8217;s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the vast majority of websites, a free Domain Validation (DV) certificate provides excellent security and is fully sufficient. Organizations that require additional identity verification may choose OV or EV certificates, while websites with multiple subdomains or domains may benefit from Wildcard or Multi-Domain certificates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[11],"manual_kb_tag":[372,376,885,888,914,915,1195,1196,1247,7038],"class_list":["post-8635","manual_kb","type-manual_kb","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","manualknowledgebasecat-ssl-certificates","manual_kb_tag-ssl-certificate","manual_kb_tag-domain-validation","manual_kb_tag-certificate-authority","manual_kb_tag-https-encryption","manual_kb_tag-website-security","manual_kb_tag-data-encryption","manual_kb_tag-organization-validation","manual_kb_tag-extended-validation","manual_kb_tag-tls-certificate","manual_kb_tag-wildcard-certificate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/8635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/8635\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8636,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/8635\/revisions\/8636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=8635"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=8635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
