Choose the certificate that fits your project.

Optional paid SSL certificates for a specific brand, wildcard coverage or verified organization identity. Compare domain validation (DV), organization validation (OV) and extended validation (EV), with clear paid terms.

Free SSL is already included with our cPanel hosting. AutoSSL automatically issues and renews eligible domain-validated certificates when DNS and validation requirements are met. You do not need to buy paid SSL for ordinary HTTPS. Compare free and paid SSL.

Cloud VPS is self-managed: you configure your web server and certificate automation, or request assistance. A paid certificate is optional there too.

RapidSSL Wildcard

Domain-validated wildcard SSL for projects with multiple subdomains at one level. Issued domain names (SANs) define exact coverage. Paid SSL is optional; our cPanel hosting already includes free AutoSSL.

What are you choosing?

DV: verify domain control.

A straightforward option for websites and applications. A correctly configured DV certificate supports encrypted HTTPS, including sign-ins and transactions.

OV: add organization identity.

The issuer checks organization details as well as domain control. Useful when your project requires a verified organization in certificate details.

EV: extended identity checks.

Additional organization and authorization checks for eligible businesses. Browser presentation varies; EV does not create a green address bar or guarantee a website is safe.

Wildcard: plan hostname coverage.

A wildcard such as *.example.com normally covers one subdomain level, not nested names such as a.b.example.com. Apex and www coverage depend on the purchased package and issued SANs.

Public TLS certificates appear in permanent Certificate Transparency logs. Their domain names and, for OV/EV, validated organization details can be publicly searchable. See our SSL Certificate Policy.

From purchase to a working certificate.

  1. Choose your product and paid term. Review the total in checkout. Hosting's two-free-month annual offer applies to VPS and cPanel plans, not certificate terms.
  2. Complete domain and identity checks. Use an available DNS, HTTP/file or email validation method. OV/EV may require company records and an authorized contact. Issuance depends on successful validation, not a promised number of minutes.
  3. Install and maintain it. Eligible connected cPanel hosting can use WHMCS automation. Unmanaged VPS and external servers may require a CSR, installation and reissuance work. Keep private keys on your server; do not send them in tickets.
Does paid SSL improve encryption or Google rankings?

Free and paid certificates can both support encrypted HTTPS. Price and validation level do not by themselves make the connection faster, prove the site's content is trustworthy, or guarantee higher search rankings.

What happens when a certificate expires during a multi-year plan?

The commercial service term is separate from the validity of each issued certificate. Complete any required revalidation and reissuance, then install the new certificate before the old one expires. Check your client area and renewal notices; automation depends on the supported hosting environment and successful validation.

Can I pay with cryptocurrency or a card?

Yes. NOWPayments handles supported cryptocurrencies, and Amazon Pay handles eligible cards through an Amazon account. Provider availability and verification checks apply. Read payment options.

What support and refund terms apply?

Our support team is available 24/7. Fasting Host's seven-day refund guarantee and cancellation process are explained in the billing policy. Issuer validation, certificate coverage and any issuer warranty remain subject to the selected product's terms. A CA warranty is not general breach insurance.
