Sectigo Essential SSL

What does Sectigo Essential SSL look like in practice?

Technical specifications

• Domain validation

  1 domain + www subdomain

  Sectigo Essential SSL is a domain certificate, which means that domain validation is performed before it is issued.

  With the SSL certificate, you can validate and secure one domain and, at the same time, protect its www subdomain (e.g. yourdomain.si and www.yourdomain.si). The certificate can also be used to secure a single subdomain (e.g. shop.yourdomain.si).

• Organization validation

  -

  The Sectigo Essential SSL certificate does not include organization validation, as it is a domain certificate that only validates domain ownership.

• Issuance time

  within minutes

  The process of issuing the Sectigo Essential SSL domain certificate is fully automated, allowing for immediate use. You will be able to install the SSL certificate on the selected (sub)domain within 5 – 15 minutes.

• Issuer warranty

  $10,000

  Sectigo provides a $10,000 warranty on the Essential SSL certificate. If the certificate turned out to have been issued incorrectly and a user of the secured website fell victim to online fraud, they would be entitled to compensation up to that amount.

• 256-bit encryption

  The 256-bit encryption method is considered one of the safest. Decrypting data without the proper encryption key is so challenging that this method is chosen by banking institutions, government agencies, and large public and private corporations.

  By using advanced 256-bit encryption, you can be sure that sensitive data transmitted between the server and the individual visitor's browser is completely secure.

• 99.9% browser compatibility

  Have you ever encountered a website where a security warning popped up first, alerting you to the possibility of online fraud? Did you take the risk, confirm the security exception, and visit the website despite the warning? Did you leave it as quickly as possible?

  Your visitors won't have to deal with such decisions, as Sectigo's root certificate is already preinstalled in 99.9% of web browsers.

  Sectigo Essential SSL ensures complete security and website accessibility on HTTPS connections in browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, and others.

  With the Sectigo Essential SSL certificate, you can easily secure an IDN domain as well.

• Site seal

  WHAT DOES THE SECTIGO SEAL LOOK LIKE?

  The dynamic seal is a visual element that shows visitors your website is protected by an SSL certificate.

  By clicking the seal, visitors can verify the authenticity of the domain and the company.

  

  A clearly visible seal has been proven to boost online sales, so we recommend placing it prominently on your website.

  The certificate includes the dynamic "Secured by Sectigo" site seal, which further reassures your visitors that your website is safe to use.

  If you are securing an online store with the SSL certificate, we especially recommend displaying the seal in a prominent place. This builds greater visitor trust, which is reflected in higher online sales.

• Certificate reissue

  If you decide to purchase a Sectigo Essential SSL certificate, you can reissue the certificate at any time. Reissues are free and unlimited.

  Reissuing the certificate makes sense if:

  • you have lost your private key;
  • you suspect that your private key has been compromised;
  • you change your web hosting provider;
  • you move your website to another server.
• Server licenses

  unlimited

  Sectigo Essential SSL includes a license to install the certificate on an unlimited number of servers.

• Free installation

  *

  * We install the SSL certificate on your website for free if you have a shared hosting plan with us. In some cases, the website itself needs adjustments for the certificate to work properly, and we're happy to help with those. Contact us and we'll review your site and give you an estimate of the work involved.
