SSL Certificates

The role of an SSL certificate is to secure the information transmitted between the server and the internet browser accessing the website. In this regard, the information (data, passwords, credit card information, etc.) is encrypted and then decrypted only by the web server to which it is addressed.

The period for issuing the certificate largely depends on the type of certificate. It can range from a few minutes for domain validation certificates to several days for extended validation or organization validation certificates.

After the certificate is issued, installation takes a maximum of one hour.

No!

After the certificate is issued, this is no longer possible, so you will need to order and issue another certificate.

1. The cost of the SSL certificate, which can be issued for a minimum period of one year.

2. The cost of a dedicated IP, in the case where the certificate will be installed on a DDS server.

A wildcard SSL certificate will secure both the domain in question and all associated subdomains.

Example: popescu.ro, www.popescu.ro, cursuri.popescu.ro, magazin.popescu.ro, etc.

No.

The introduction of a new technology, called Server Name Indication (SNI), facilitates obtaining an SSL certificate without the need for a dedicated IP.

After installation, the changes that need to be made involve redirecting traffic using HTTPS.

The most commonly used solution involves editing the .htaccess file (in the case where the web server is Apache or LiteSpeed).

This file is located in the public_html directory and can be modified as follows:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domain.com/$1 [R,L]

For simple domain validation certificates, no documents are required.

For extended validation or organization validation certificates, documents proving the identity of the company associated with that domain are required.

In this case, the following documents are required:

1. A copy of the registration certificate issued by the Chamber of Commerce. This must be signed and stamped, with the specification "true copy of the original".
2. A certificate of good standing issued by the Chamber of Commerce within the last 4 weeks.
3. A copy of the latest telephone/internet bill or other utilities (water, gas, electricity).
4. A purchase request.

Another important aspect is the WHOIS information of the domain where the installation is desired. These must match the information in the company's registration certificate. Additionally, the phone number must be the same.

For more information in this regard, you can contact the sales department.

The warranty of an SSL certificate is provided by the authority that issued the certificate (such as Comodo, RapidSSL, Thawte, etc.), ensuring the user in the event of a transaction resulting in loss of money if that transaction was encrypted using that certificate, issued incorrectly.

The impact on loading speed is minimal, with the performance difference being almost imperceptible.
