Most websites include SSL protection because it’s so helpful for SEO and it protects all the data flowing to and from the site. Also, most of the best website builders and web hosting providers offer free SSLs. If you don’t already know which SSL certificate you need, keep practicing for an easy explanation.

What Is an SSL Certificate and How Does It Work?

You can think of an SSL certificate as your website’s passport. It helps a browser or web server authenticate a website’s identity so your site is trustworthy (the HTTPS indicates this). It also encrypts data, so any data to or from your site gets scrambled so it’s unreadable by anyone “listening in.”

The Difference Between Types of SSL Certificates

DV SSL

This certificate is the least expensive and least secure of all SSL certificates. All it requires for authentication is verification that the domain is registered to the domain owner (via WHOIS database).

Best for: Personal project websites

OV SSL

There’s much more info to check on an OV SSL, and therefore it’s more secure than a DV SSL. In addition to checking the domain validity, there’s also a check on the organization that owns the domain, plus its address and location.

Best for: Business or non-profit websites

EV SSL

For the strongest protection, there are EV SSL certificates. The validation process checks for the name of the business, address and location. Also, you can find the name of the business in the SSL info window (click on the padlock next to a URL), which is further validation. These certificates also come with the largest monetary warranties.

Best for: E-commerce businesses.

Who Needs an SSL Certificate?

Everyone who owns a website should have an SSL certificate. If your site isn’t protected by an SSL certificate, it gets a “not secure” mark from Google. Plus, if you want any of your content or your site to rank well in search engines, you need that virtual padlock. Most importantly, though, yes you need an SSL certificate to protect your site and its users.

How Do SSL Warranties Work?

We took note of warranties and their values in our reviews of the best SSL certificate services because it’s important to know how well you’re protected should something go wrong. Most SSLs come with a warranty that ensures your certificate will work as intended. For example, if a payment is made on your SSL-protected site and the end-user is a victim of fraud because of an SSL failure, the warranty will pay the fraudulent-related fees.
