Question 1

What exactly is an SSL certificate?

Accepted Answer

An SSL certificate encrypts the traffic between your website and your visitors. That's why browsers show the familiar padlock and https:// in the address bar, and why passwords, payment details and contact forms can't be intercepted.

Question 2

Which certificate do I need: DV, OV or Wildcard?

Accepted Answer

Domain Validation (DV) is suitable for blogs, brochure sites and small business pages. Organization Validation (OV) shows your company name inside the certificate and is recommended for web shops and customer portals. Wildcard SSL secures unlimited subdomains (like shop.yourcompany.com and mail.yourcompany.com) with a single certificate.

Question 3

How quickly is my SSL certificate active?

Accepted Answer

A DV certificate is usually issued and installed within 5 to 30 minutes. OV takes 1 to 3 business days because the certificate authority validates your company details via Chamber of Commerce data and a phone call first.

Question 4

Do you install the SSL certificate for me as well?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For websites we host, we install and renew the certificate automatically — you don't need to do anything. For external hosting we help you generate the CSR and deliver the certificate.

Question 5

What if I already have an SSL certificate with another provider?

Accepted Answer

You can easily switch at the expiry or renewal date. We handle the migration without downtime; your website stays available throughout.

Question 6

Is my SSL renewed automatically?

Accepted Answer

By default you receive a reminder 30 days before expiry and can renew with one click. For customers on our hosting we renew automatically, so the padlock never disappears.

Question 7

Does SSL improve my Google ranking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, HTTPS has been a Google ranking factor since 2014. Sites without SSL are also marked as 'Not secure' in Chrome and Safari, which measurably reduces trust and conversion.

Question 8

What does an SSL certificate cost?

Accepted Answer

Domain Validation costs €29.95 per year, Organization Validation €99.95 per year and Wildcard SSL €199.95 per year — excluding VAT. All-in: issuance, installation on our hosting, and free reissue included.
