SSL Certificate FAQs

Get answers to common questions about SSL certificates

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity and enables an encrypted connection. It creates a secure link between a web server and a browser, ensuring that all data passed between them remains private and integral.

You need an SSL certificate to:

  • Protect sensitive customer information
  • Establish trust with your visitors
  • Improve your search engine rankings (Google favors HTTPS sites)
  • Meet PCI compliance requirements if you accept payments
  • Prevent browser warnings about insecure connections

The main differences are in the validation process and level of trust displayed:

  • Domain Validation (DV): Basic validation that verifies you own the domain. Issued quickly (minutes). Shows padlock icon.
  • Organization Validation (OV): Verifies your business identity. Takes 1-3 days. Shows organization name in certificate details.
  • Extended Validation (EV): Rigorous verification process. Takes 5-7 days. With Enhanced browser trust indicators.

We make SSL installation easy:

  1. Purchase your SSL certificate
  2. Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from your hosting control panel
  3. Complete the validation process (varies by certificate type)
  4. We'll issue your certificate
  5. Install the certificate via your hosting control panel (we provide instructions)
  6. Update your site to use HTTPS

Our support team can assist with installation if needed.

Yes! We offer wildcard SSL certificates that secure your main domain and all its subdomains (e.g., example.com, blog.example.com, shop.example.com). Wildcard certificates are available for both DV and OV validation levels.

We offer multi-domain SSL certificates (SAN certificates) that allow you to secure multiple domains with a single certificate. This is perfect for businesses managing several websites or services under different domains.

It depends on your website's focus. For blogs, personal sites, or informational websites, a standard Domain Validation (DV) certificate is ideal. If you manage a corporate or business website, an Organization Validation (OV) certificate adds greater credibility. For e-commerce stores, financial institutions, or sites collecting highly personal user information, an Extended Validation (EV) certificate delivers the highest degree of validation and visitor confidence.

Domain Validation (DV) certificates are typically issued and setup within a few minutes after automated validation. Organization Validation (OV) certificates take between 1 to 3 business days, while Extended Validation (EV) certificates require an in-depth vetting procedure and usually take 5 to 7 business days to fully complete.

Yes. Hosting stores your website files on a remote server, but an SSL certificate secures the active transmission path between that server and your visitors' browsers. Even with premium hosting, your site will display insecure warnings without an active SSL layer.

Absolutely! If you host your website with WeFitHost, our dedicated support team can fully assist you with generating the CSR, processing the setup, and installing your purchased SSL certificate to ensure it functions perfectly.

When an SSL certificate expires, web browsers will block access to your site with an immediate "Your connection is not private" warning screen. This breaks visitor encryption, halts transactions, and negatively impacts user retention alongside your SEO rankings. We highly recommend turning on auto-renewal or renewing early.

Yes, if you wish to secure multiple subdomains simultaneously under a single umbrella. A standard certificate secures only a single specific domain, whereas a Wildcard SSL certificate automatically covers your primary domain alongside an unlimited number of first-level subdomains.

Yes, it is strictly mandatory. To securely process customer credentials and financial details on-site, you must satisfy Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) regulations—which explicitly demand a secure, active HTTPS connection via an SSL certificate.

Yes, you can upgrade your protection tier at any time. Moving to an Extended Validation (EV) certificate involves purchasing the new tier, verifying your business registration paperwork during the validation phase, and installing the newly issued EV certificate to overwrite your old configuration.
