SSL certificates — secure the connection to your website, store or online service

I explain which SSL/TLS certificate suits your domain, help you through verification and organise renewal before expiry.

When to start the conversation

A certificate should match how your service works — not only the domain name

SSL/TLS is needed when a user connects to a website, panel, store, mail server or online service. It encrypts communication between browser and server and confirms the right domain.

  • you run a company website, store or customer panel;
  • you collect contact forms, login data or payment data;
  • you use several domains or subdomains;
  • you need a certificate for a mail server;
  • your current certificate is approaching expiry.

What SSL/TLS actually provides

It encrypts a connection — but does not secure an entire website

Confidentiality

Data sent between user and server is encrypted.

Integrity

It makes unnoticed changes to data in transit harder.

Domain confirmation

A browser can verify that a certificate was issued for the served domain.

Limits of protection

A certificate does not replace updates, backups, strong passwords or form protection.

Choosing the scope

One domain, multiple domains or subdomains?

  • One domain
    When one website or service needs protection.
  • Multi-Domain
    When several independent domains need protection.
  • Wildcard
    When subdomains such as panel, API or mail are involved.
  • Complex services
    For a store, panel and mail, we first establish every point of use.

Validation level

Not every certificate requires the same level of entity verification

Certum offers DV, OV and EV options. They differ in the scope of domain and organisation validation.

I do not promise a specific issuance time on the page. It depends on the option, correct data and verification process.

I do not begin with the most expensive solution; first I check domains, infrastructure and who manages the environment.

Continuity of protection

A shorter individual certificate lifetime does not mean managing everything manually

Industry rules shorten the maximum lifetime of individual SSL/TLS certificates. Before setup, I establish who manages the domain, where the certificate operates and how renewal or reissue will work.

The purchased service term and the lifetime of one issued certificate are not always the same. A well-planned process helps avoid an interruption to a website, store or service.

Common questions about SSL/TLS

What to clarify before choosing a certificate

Are SSL and TLS the same?

In practice, “SSL” is often used although modern connections use TLS. The certificate enables encrypted connection and domain confirmation.

Does SSL protect a website from intrusion?

Not by itself. It protects data in transit; website security also depends on updates, configuration and administrator access.

Is SSL the same as Code Signing?

No. SSL/TLS secures a connection to a domain or online service. Code Signing signs applications, installers, scripts and other files.

Do I need to install the certificate myself?

That depends on hosting and server access. First we establish who administers the environment and what help is needed.

How I guide the setup

From domains and services to a planned renewal

01

I establish domains and services

I check what needs protection: website, store, panel, mail, API or subdomains.

02

I choose the scope

I explain one domain, Wildcard, Multi-Domain and validation options.

03

I guide verification

I help through domain and, where applicable, organisation verification.

04

We plan installation and renewal

I explain where the certificate operates, who installs it and how to avoid service interruption.

Contact

Before choosing a certificate, describe your domains and how the service works

Tell me which domains, subdomains or servers need coverage. We will establish the right option and next steps.
