Issuance is fast and fully automated. typically completed in minutes. DV SSL provides the same 256-bit encryption strength as higher-validation OV and EV certificates.

How It Works

SSL & HTTPS. How do they work?

HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) is the secure version of HTTP. the protocol governing data movement between your browser and a web server. The "S" confirms that an SSL/TLS certificate is protecting the connection.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). now technically TLS. is the cryptographic layer responsible for encrypting data in transit. When a visitor connects to your site, SSL/TLS performs a handshake to establish an encrypted session, ensuring data cannot be read by third parties.

OBHost offers DV SSL certificates from Sectigo, RapidSSL, Thawte, DigiCert, and GeoTrust. starting from $3.60/yr with instant automated issuance.

SSL and HTTPS. How it works
Browser Not Secure warning
⚠ Avoid This Warning

Say goodbye to the "Not Secure" warning forever

An SSL certificate not only protects your website from cyber attacks, but also helps you gain the trust of your visitors. When visitors see the padlock, they know their data is safe. increasing the likelihood of purchases, sign-ups, and conversions.

It also helps uplift your rankings in search engines. When you achieve high SEO rankings through HTTPS, your traffic grows and your sales targets become more achievable. DV SSL is the fastest path to removing the "Not Secure" warning. activated in minutes.

FAQ

DV SSL. Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about Domain Validation SSL certificates. issuance, verification, and compatibility.

Get DV SSL Now

A Domain Validation (DV) SSL certificate is the simplest and fastest type of SSL certificate. It verifies only that you control the domain name. no business identity checks required. After verification (via email, DNS record, or file upload), your certificate is issued automatically and your site gets HTTPS and the browser padlock.

DV SSL certificates are typically issued in minutes after domain ownership is confirmed. The verification process is fully automated. choose email verification (respond to an email sent to admin@yourdomain.com), DNS verification (add a TXT record), or file verification (upload a file to your server). Once verified, the certificate is issued immediately.

DV SSL verifies domain ownership only. issued in minutes, lowest cost, no business documentation needed. OV SSL (Organization Validation) also verifies your company's legal identity. takes 1-3 business days. EV SSL (Extended Validation) requires the most thorough vetting and displays your company name in the browser. ideal for ecommerce and financial sites. For personal sites and blogs, DV is perfectly sufficient.

Yes. All SSL certificates. DV, OV, and EV. provide the same level of encryption (256-bit AES). The difference between them is the level of identity verification, not the strength of the encryption. A DV SSL on your site encrypts data exactly as securely as an EV SSL.

For basic ecommerce sites, DV SSL is technically sufficient. it provides full encryption. However, for high-traffic ecommerce sites processing payments, OV or EV SSL is recommended as they also verify your business identity, providing additional trust signals to customers. Payment processors like Stripe and PayPal handle their own security, so DV SSL is often adequate for sites using hosted payment pages.

Yes. OBHost offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on eligible DV SSL certificate plans. If you are not satisfied within 30 days of purchase, contact our support team to request a refund.
