Why do I need an SSL certificate?
Data entered on websites that do not use SSL/TLS is not secure. That means if you accept financial information like credit card numbers, login information like usernames and passwords, or anything that either you or your website's users would want to keep private, you will need an SSL/TLS certificate.
Security
A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate encrypts the information exchanged between a user’s browser and the server. This is critical for protecting sensitive data such as credit card numbers, personal information, and login credentials.
Trust & Credibility
Web sites with SSL Certificates display a padlock icon in the address bar, a widely recognized symbol of trust on the Internet. This helps assure visitors that their connections are secure and their information is protected.
SEO Benefits
Google and other search engines prefer sites that are secure. Having an SSL certificate is recognized by Google as a ranking factor, which means it can help improve your site’s visibility and ranking in search engine results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SSL certificate?
A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates the identity of a web server and enables an encrypted connection between the web server and the visitor's browser (client). This is essential for securing data transmissions between browsers and servers, protecting against eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery.
What are the different types of SSL certificates?
There are several types of SSL certificates, primarily differentiated by the level of validation and the number of domains they cover:
Domain Validated (DV) Certificates: These offer a basic level of encryption verified by confirming the domain ownership. Anyone can get a DV SSL certificate.
Organization Validated (OV) Certificates: These require more extensive validation, including authentication of the organization’s identity, adding greater trust.
Extended Validation (EV) Certificates: These provide the highest level of security and trust by requiring a thorough verification of the organization’s legal, physical, and operational existence.
Which SSL certificate do I need?
Your choice of SSL certificate depends on the needs of your site:
DV certificates are great for blogs or personal projects where basic security is sufficient.
OV certificates are better for businesses or organizations that need to build user trust.
EV Certificates are ideal for large businesses or e-commerce sites that handle sensitive customer information and require the highest level of trust and regulatory compliance.
How many separate domains can I protect with HTTPS?
The number of domains you can protect with HTTPS depends on the type of SSL certificate:
Single-domain SSLs protect one domain or subdomain.
Wildcard SSLs cover one domain and all its subdomains.
Multi-domain SSLs (also known as SAN or UCC certificates) can secure multiple domains with a single certificate, typically up to 100.
How do I activate an SSL certificate?
To activate an SSL Certificate after purchasing it on Trustname, follow these steps:
Validate: Depending on the type of SSL Certificate you purchased (DV, OV or EV), Trustname will perform the necessary validation. For DV Certificates, this will be as simple as confirming domain ownership via email. OV and EV certificates require more detailed verification.
Install the certificate: After your SSL Certificate is issued, you will receive it by email or you can download it from your Trustname account. Install the certificate on your server using your hosting control panel. Instructions may vary depending on your hosting provider.
Verify the installation: Finally, verify that your SSL Certificate is working by accessing your website through https://. Look for the padlock icon in the browser address bar, which confirms that the site is securely encrypted.
We'll support you at every step if you encounter any problems during the activation process. You can contact our customer service for assistance at any stage of the process.
How do I renew an SSL certificate?
To renew your SSL certificate:
Start by making a payment for your renewal and after that follow these steps:
Generate a new CSR: For some renewals, especially if information has changed or for additional security, you may need to generate a new Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from your server. This is similar to the initial generation process and can be done through your hosting control panel or a CSR generator.
Submit the new CSR: If necessary, submit the newly generated CSR to Trustname through your account dashboard.
Validation Process: As with initial issuance, Trustname will perform the necessary validation based on the type of SSL Certificate. For DV Certificates, you will only need to verify domain ownership via email. OV and EV certificates require more extensive validation.
Install the renewed certificate: Once your renewed SSL Certificate is issued, install it on your server. This usually involves replacing the old certificate files with the new ones in your hosting control panel.
Verify the installation: After installation, verify your site by visiting your domain with the https:// protocol attached to make sure SSL is enabled. Look for the padlock icon in the browser address bar to confirm that the connection is secure.
Update configurations if necessary: If you have configurations or systems that depend on your SSL Certificate, make sure they are updated to recognize the new certificate.
