What are the differences between your SSL Certificates?
We offer 4 different types of SSL Certificate: Free, Simple, Wildcard and Extended. All 4 will give your website URL the 'https' prefix, showing that traffic is encrypted.
Let's Encrypt: Free Wildcard SSL Certificate
Our Free Secure Sockets Layer (SSL*) certificates are from Let’s Encrypt. These require you to use our nameservers. They help improve Google ranking and reassure potential customers that a site is secure. These are 'wildcard' certificates, which mean that they can cover subdomains of your website, such as subdomain.yoursite.com.
GeoTrust: Simple SSL Certificate
An ecommerce business might prefer to buy one of our Simple SSL certificates from GeoTrust, which doesn’t require you to use our nameservers. Both types include domain validation, which means that the certificate authority has checked the domain owner.
GeoTrust: Rapid SSL Wildcard Certificate
The Wildcard SSL certificate from GeoTrust will cover all subdomains of your website, whilst providing a $10,000 warranty which offers financial protection in the event of a security breach due to a flaw or error in the SSL certificate resulting in data loss.
GeoTrust: Extended SSL Certificate
Extended SSL is the highest class of SSL available. It includes more stringent checks on the company by the certificate authorities. Extended SSL lends more credibility to a website compared to a Free or Simple SSL. It includes a warranty and an Extended Validation certificate.

SSL and TLS: Certificates that secure website traffic have traditionally been called Secure Socket Layer Certificates. However, the SSL protocol has been superceded by the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. All of our certificates use the TLS protocol, version 1.3. We use the term 'SSL Certificate' because more people are familiar with it.
