GoDaddy SSL Certificates Overview
A GoDaddy SSL certificate validates the identity of your website and adds encryption. This encrypts data sent to servers to stop online thieves viewing sensitive information visitors enter. Non-secure HTTP connections enable spies to intercept data.
- Standard: Encrypts data for one domain and subdomain for $69.99 a year.
- Deluxe: Encrypts one domain and unlimited subdomains for $99.99 a year.
- Premium: Encrypts one domain and unlimited subdomains with advanced security.
- Unified Communication Certificate: Secures up to 100 domains, compatible with Microsoft Server 2007 and Communication Server.
Installation and Verification Process
Once GoDaddy verifies and approves a certificate, it can be automatically installed if the website is hosted by GoDaddy. For non-GoDaddy hosting, download certificate files from the GoDaddy product page under "Manage" for the purchased certificate.
Extended Validation (EV) Certificates
EV certificates come with a free standard SSL for the vetting process. The Standard validation level suits personal websites with SHA-2 and 2048-bit encryption. Support is available 24/7 for any queries.
Without SSL encryption, customers and data are more at risk, threatening website security. Certificates offer unique features like support from an impressive group offering excellent service and value. The evolving cyber threats make having a secure website critical.
