Why choose ELITE for your SSL certificate?

Stronger brand identity.

When you obtain our premium certificates, you can boost user confidence by showing that your true online identity has been validated by a well-respected Certificate Authority. This means that your SSL certificate indicates to your customers that your organisation is dedicated to safeguarding their data and ensuring a secure online experience, as well as showing legitimacy.

“Not Secure.” Not good.

If visitors try to access a secure website using a URL or link that lacks an SSL, the site is promptly marked as "Not Secure," which can deter potential customers. However, by acquiring an Elite SSL certificate, any potential "Not Secure" warning can be avoided for as long as the SSL certificate remains active. This is a positive outcome that can help improve customer confidence.

Increased SEO ranking.

Websites that use https encryption are highly favored by search engines, which often prioritize them in search results. This significantly improves the chances that potential customers will discover your website.

Compliance with regulation standards.

Obtaining an SSL certificate is the most robust method of safeguarding online businesses, as it adheres to industry standards and regulations, including but not limited to, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, HITECH, GDPR, and many others.

Customers will trust you.

Trust is the foundation of the SSL protocol, and our SSL certificates adhere to strict validation guidelines to reinforce this principle. Additionally, our SSL certificates employ the world's best encryption technology to secure sensitive data, further enhancing the level of protection provided.

Safe mobile and online payment systems.

Providing customers with their preferred payment options and ensuring they complete their purchases through checkout is vital. However, to accomplish this securely and safely, an SSL certificate is needed. This certificate is a standard for the industry and provides end-to-end encryption protocol, effectively preventing hackers from accessing sensitive data.

How SSL certificates work.

An SSL certificate will establish a secure digital tunnel that will stop hackers and thieves from viewing and stealing usernames,
passwords, credit card numbers and other valuable data.

First, the SSL agreement.

Upon visiting an SSL-protected website, the SSL certificate automatically establishes a secure, encrypted connection with the visitor’s browser. For optimal security, SSL deployment should be extended to all pages and subdomains of your site.

Now you're good to go.

Every byte of information which travels to and from your website will now be encrypted, which helps your sensitive data become almost unhackable.

The padlock icon appears.

After the connection is established, the visitor’s browser bar displays a padlock icon and an https prefix, indicating that they can safely browse, shop, email, subscribe to your mailing list, and perform other actions on your website. Additionally, any “Not Secure” tag that may have previously been present will disappear. By installing an Extended Validation (EV) SSL, your company name is displayed in the browser to confirm your legitimacy as a business.

Frequently asked questions about SSL Certificates:

Starting on 01/09/2020 SSL/TLS certificates cannot be issued for longer than 13 months (397 days). Any SSL certificate bought after this date will have the new term length applied and those bought before will be grandfathered in.

When your SSL certificate is issued, we send an email to let you know. What happens next depends on where your site is hosted and the options you chose when you bought the certificate.

If you chose web hosting, Website Builder or Online Store will take care of everything for you. If you host your website with another company or use our VPS or Dedicated Servers, learn more here.

To install an SSL certificate on Parallels Plesk Panel, cPanel and Microsoft IIS, please look here.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates authenticate websites and allow them to switch from HTTP to HTTPS encryption, protecting the exchange of valuable information visitors send to or receive from a website.

When you’ve got an SSL certificate protecting your site, your customers can rest assured that the information they enter on any secured page is private and can’t be viewed by any bad actors. ELITE makes it easy to install your certificate and protect sensitive customer data on your site.

ELITE SSL certificates inspire trust and show visitors that you value their privacy. An SSL certificate protects your customers’ sensitive information such as their name, address, password, or credit card number by encrypting the data during transmission from their computer to your web server. SSL is the standard for web security, and a server certificate is required by most merchant account services – you’ll need one if you plan to accept credit cards on your website.

How you build your website is entirely up to you. In fact, most basic secure websites can be hand-coded using HTML.

When a visitor enters an SSL-protected page on your website, their browser bar displays a padlock icon and the https:// prefix in the URL address. While most Internet users know to look for those SSL indicators, you can also add a site seal to your website to show visitors your site is verified and secured. Visitors can click the seal to view your certificate’s status and details, seeing for themselves that it’s safe to send sensitive information to your website.

All SSL-protected sites display the https:// prefix in the URL address bar. Sites protected with a Premium EV SSL certificate display a green browser bar to quickly assure visitors that the organization’s legal and physical existence was verified according to strict industry standards.

ELITE’s Premium EV SSL certificate involves the most extensive vetting process. We verify the control of the domain and legitimacy of your company by validating the legal name, address, phone number and other business information. The process takes about 30 days, but we’ve got you covered during that time. EV SSL certificates come with a free Standard SSL to use during the vetting process, so you can keep your transactions secure while you wait.

For one thing, our SSL certificates cover unlimited secure servers. They support up to 2048-bit encryption and they’re recognized by all of the major desktop and mobile browsers on the market. Plus, they’re backed by the industry’s best 24/7 phone service and support. There’s absolutely no technical difference between ELITE SSL certificates and those offered by other companies – they simply cost less. Is it any wonder we’re the largest provider of net new SSL certificates in the world?

A Wildcard SSL certificate protects your primary domain, and an unlimited number of its subdomains. For example, a single Wildcard certificate can secure both www.coolexample.com and blog.coolexample.com.

Wildcard certificates secure the common name and all subdomains at the level you specify when you submit your SSL request.

Answer these questions to help find the SSL certificate you need:

1. Where are you located?

Our certificates are issued worldwide with a few exceptions. Check this list to see if you’re covered.

2. Do you have a business or personal website?

Unless you sell things on your personal website, a Standard SSL certificate (DV) is fine. This is also true for informational business sites. eCommerce websites should use a single-domain Standard SSL certificate (DV) or Premium SSL certificate (EV).

3. Which type of web hosting server do you use?

Our SSL certificates work on most hosting and server configurations. To protect multiple domains on Microsoft’s Exchange Server 2007, Exchange Server 2010 or Live® Communications Server, use a Multiple Domain UCC SSL.

4. How many different domains do you need to protect?

Wildcard SSL certificates cover multiple subdomains. For example, use a Wildcard to protect *.coolexample.com, which would cover shop.coolexample.com, www.coolexample.com and any other subdomains.

UCC SSL certificates will cover multiple domains, subdomains and websites. For example, you can secure www.coolexample.com, mail.coolexample.com, and www.awesomeexample.com.

5. Do you need an SSL certificate that supports Intel vPro technology for remote PC management?

You’ll need our OV Deluxe certificate.

A Standard SSL (DV) usually takes 5 minutes or less. A Deluxe SSL (OV) takes 3-5 business days, because we’re validating not just domain ownership but also the existence of the organization or business on the SSL application.

For Premium (EV) certificates, there is an extensive vetting process that starts with an in-depth application. Before you start, pull together details about your business, such as registration number, incorporation or registration agent and any relevant jurisdiction information.

A Unified Communications Certificate (UCC) is an SSL certificate that secures multiple domain names as well as multiple host names within a domain name. A UCC SSL certificate lets you secure a primary domain name and up to 99 additional Subject Alternative Names (SANs) with a single SSL certificate. For example you can use a UCC to protect www.domains1.com, www.domains2.net and www.domains3.org.

UCCs are compatible with shared hosting and ideal for Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007, Exchange Server 2010, and Microsoft Live® Communications Server. However, the site seal and certificate “Issued To” information will only list the primary domain name. Please note that any secondary hosting accounts will be listed in the certificate as well, so if you do not want sites to appear ‘connected’ to each other, you should not use this type of certificate.

Depending on how your website is configured, you might want to use something other than a single-domain SSL certificate.

  • Wildcard SSL certificates cover all of a domain name’s subdomains. For example, you can secure *.ironexample.com, which would cover shop.ironexample.com, www.ironexample.com and any other subdomains.
  • UCC SSL certificates can cover multiple subdomains, unique domain names and websites. For example, you can secure www.ironexample.com, mail.ironexample.com and www.captainxample.com.
