Two Questions Decide Which Certificate You Need
How much of your identity do you want verified, and how many parts of your site need protecting? Answer those two and the right certificate is easy to spot.
DV: Domain Validation
Proves you control the domain. Fast to issue and ideal for blogs, portfolios, and simple business websites.
OV: Organization Validation
We verify your organization is real, and your business name goes inside the certificate. For businesses that handle customer data.
EV: Extended Validation
The strictest identity check. Your verified legal name is recorded in the certificate. For online stores, finance, and high-trust brands.
Single Domain
One domain, one certificate. The right choice when your website runs on one address with no separate subdomains.
Wildcard
One domain plus every subdomain under it, like shop, blog, and app, all covered by a single certificate.

How It Works
What Happens After You Order
Start by choosing the level of validation you need. Not sure which one? Tell our team about your website and we'll point you to the right certificate.
Step 1
Verification
Next, the certificate authority verifies your details. For a DV certificate, that means confirming you control the domain, which usually takes minutes. For OV and EV, your business details are checked too, which usually takes a few business days.
Step 2
Issuance and Installation
Once verified, your certificate is issued and we install it for you, so your website loads securely on HTTPS.
Step 3
Support Along the Way
Our 24/7 support team is here if you need a hand at any step.

SSL Certificate FAQs
Have questions about SSL certificates? We have your answers.
Which SSL certificate do I need?
For a blog or personal site, the Free SSL is enough. If you run a business website, a Single Domain SSL adds a warranty. If you handle customer data, choose OV SSL, and for online stores or finance, EV SSL gives the highest level of trust. If you use subdomains, pick a Wildcard.What is the difference between DV, OV, and EV?
DV (Domain Validation) confirms you control the domain. OV (Organization Validation) also verifies that your business is real and puts its name in the certificate. EV (Extended Validation) runs the strictest checks on your business identity. All three use the same strong encryption; the difference is how much identity is verified.What does a Wildcard certificate cover?
A Wildcard certificate protects your main domain and all of its subdomains, like shop.yourbusiness.com and blog.yourbusiness.com, with one certificate. We offer it as DV Wildcard and EV Wildcard.Is the Free SSL good enough?
The Free SSL encrypts your website and shows the padlock, which is all many small sites need. Paid certificates add a warranty and, with OV and EV, verified business identity that builds more trust with your visitors.What does the warranty cover?
The warranty is protection from the certificate authority. It covers your customers if they lose money because the certificate was issued incorrectly. Our warranties range from $5,000 up to $1,500,000 depending on the certificate.How fast will my certificate be issued?
DV certificates are usually issued within minutes once domain control is confirmed. OV and EV certificates need business checks, so they usually take a few business days.Do you install the certificate for me?
Yes. We install any SSL certificate you buy from KonectHosting for you. Certificates bought from other providers aren't included in this service.Does SSL help my Google rankings?
Yes. Google uses HTTPS as a ranking signal, and browsers warn visitors about sites without SSL. An SSL certificate helps both your search visibility and your visitors' trust.What kind of support do I get?
You get 24/7 support by email, support tickets, live chat, and phone. For quick answers anytime, ask Konex, our AI support assistant.
