Sectigo Essential SSL Wildcard

What does Sectigo Essential Wildcard SSL look like in practice?

Technical specifications

• Domain validation

  1 domain + all subdomains

  Wildcard SSL certificates are designed to secure multiple subdomains of a single domain.

  With a certificate issued for *.yourdomain.si, you secure data and enable an HTTPS connection on the domain itself (yourdomain.si), its www version (www.yourdomain.si) and all other subdomains.

• Organization validation

  -

  Since Sectigo Essential SSL Wildcard is a domain certificate, only domain validation is performed before it is issued. If you want your company to be validated as well, take a look at our business and extended certificates.

• Issuance time

  within minutes

  Domain validation is an automated process in which only domain ownership is checked by email. In most cases, the SSL certificate is issued in just a few minutes.

• Issuer warranty

  $10,000

  Sectigo, a globally recognized certificate authority, provides a $10,000 warranty on its Essential SSL Wildcard certificate. If the certificate turned out to have been issued wrongly and a user of the website fell victim to online fraud, they could claim compensation for financial damage up to that amount.

• 256-bit encryption

  As the number of online scams and website breaches increases, internet security is becoming more important year by year.

  The Sectigo Essential SSL Wildcard certificate uses advanced 256-bit encryption to protect the data transmitted between the server and the visitor's browser at the highest possible level. Decrypting the data without the right private key is practically impossible, as there are an unimaginable 2^256 possible combinations. That is the main reason why financial institutions, government agencies, private corporations, online payment systems, large online stores and others choose this encryption method.

• 99.9% browser compatibility

  You’ve probably tried to visit a website with an HTTPS address, only to be met with a security warning before the site even loaded — a message trying to convince you it might be safer to leave. And chances are, you did leave. With the Sectigo Essential SSL Wildcard certificate, you can forget about such issues.

  The root certificate of Sectigo, a globally recognized certificate authority, is trusted by default in 99.9% of web browsers. As a result, no security warnings are shown, and visitor drop-off is avoided. On the contrary, since your visitors will see that a security certificate from a reputable and trustworthy authority is installed, they will trust your website more and are more likely to complete actions like making a purchase.

  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.

  Simply add the “Secured by Sectigo” seal to your website. Seeing it will let visitors know they’re on a secure website.

  • if you want to move your website to a different server.

  unlimited
