It can get heavy on your wallet to individually purchase SSL/TLS certificates for each of your domains. Leaving the websites unencrypted is no longer a viable choice partly due to the loss of trust and reputational damage that comes with insecure browsing but majorly due to the security risks that come into play. Standard UCC SSL certificates are used to host multiple domains on a single certificate. They are also referred to as multi-domain SAN or Exchange certificates. UCCs are ideal for server environments such as Microsoft Exchange but can Continue Reading

Step-by-step directions for how to install Sectigo SSL certificate on a GoDaddy server GoDaddy is well known for its low-cost hosting plans. Sectigo (formerly Comodo CA) provides the least expensive digital certificates in the industry. Combining both of them i.e., getting a web hosting plan from GoDaddy and an SSL certificate from Sectigo is one of the most cost-efficient decision you can make! Without further delay, let’s explore how to install an SSL certificate on the GoDaddy server. Since you’re looking for installation directions, we assume that you’ve already generated a certificate signing request (CSR), completed the validation process, and received the SSL certificate’s file from Sectigo on Continue Reading
A multi domain wildcard SSL certificate — or what’s sometimes referred to as a wildcard SAN, SSL SAN wildcard, or a wildcard multi domain certificate — combines the flexibility of a multi domain SAN certificate with that of a wildcard certificate. This provides coverage not only for multiple domains but also their accompanying subdomains at multiple levels as well as IPs. This versatile solution offers a cost-effective alternative to efficiently manage certificates for a host of websites and subdomains using a single certificate instead of having individual certificates for each Continue Reading
Email signing certificates (also known as S/MIME certificates) are used to digitally sign and encrypt the email messages that you send from your mailbox. Not only do these certificates ensure confidentiality but also determine the integrity of the messages. Only the intended recipient can decrypt and read the mail and ascertain that it hasn’t been tampered with by an attacker on the network. Outlook Security Certificate An outlook security certificate is a digital certificate used in Microsoft Outlook to sign the emails so that the receiver can be sure that Continue Reading
Most prominent players in the digital certificate industry offer a variety of SSL/TLS certificates. As such, it’s natural for a customer to be confused about which SSL/TLS certificate to use on their website. If you have a host of subdomains where you want to use HTTPS, a wildcard SSL certificate might be a good fit, especially in terms of cost and ease of implementation. What Is a Wildcard SSL Certificate? A wildcard SSL certificate encrypts a website and an unlimited number of subdomains at a specific level using a single Continue Reading
The simple answer is a resounding Yes! You absolutely can use one SSL certificate for multiple domains — or one SSL certificate for multiple subdomains in addition to domains. To understand why and how you can do it , we need to take a look at SSL/TLS certificates and some of its various types. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) are cryptographic protocols that enable end to end encrypted communication between a client machine and a web server. When you decide to install an SSL/TLS certificate on your web Continue Reading
SSL/TLS is a secure protocol that establishes an encrypted communication channel between a web browser and a web server. It reduces the risk of sensitive information being exposed to or stolen by identity thieves or hackers. An SSL/TLS certificate installed on the server serves the dual purpose of providing a secure channel for communication as well as authenticating the website’s identity. There are different types of digital certificates offered by several big players in this market. We will be looking at two of them, namely wildcard and multi-domain wildcard SSL Continue Reading
As the internet began transforming into a more commercial space in the 1990s, there was a growing need for encrypted communication channels. This is why Netscape developed a secure protocol known as a secure sockets layer (SSL). This evolved into what’s now known as transport layer security (TLS) with TLS version 1.2 and TLS 1.3 currently in use. SSL/TLS helps to facilitate the encryption of the data transmission channel between a client (an end user’s browser) and the server it’s talking to with the intent of hindering cybercriminals from stealing Continue Reading
SSL/TLS certificates play a significant role in web security. Most business owners are moving their websites to HTTPS in part due to Google’s initiative to flag sites not using SSL/TLS certificates as “not secure,” and because they see the benefits of installing an SSL/TLS certificate on their web servers. With cyber-crime on the rise, using SSL/TLS certificates is integral to building trust with users and taking a step toward improved digital security. SSL/TLS certificates ensure that the communication channel between your client browser and the server you’re connecting to is Continue Reading
