SSL certificates

SSL certificate (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol designed to create a more secure connection between the server and the client. They are most often used in online stores, mail clients, where personal data and payment information are used to prevent interception of this information by third parties. When entering any information, it is encrypted, and in the event that it is intercepted by third parties, instead of real data, the attacker will receive only a random set of symbols that cannot be interpreted.

The presence of an SSL certificate on the site is a mandatory attribute for commercial projects. Its presence affects the trust of potential customers in the company. Since January 2017, Chrome and Firefox browsers have started warning users that the connection is not secure if the visited site does not have an installed SSL certificate.

The amount paid for an SSL certificate does not include the services of connecting it to your domain name. Verification (identification) of the customer and/or the customer company is carried out by the certificate manufacturer, and CityHost employees are not responsible for this process.

SSL - types of certificates

There are different types of SSL certificates, which differ among themselves in the type of verification and, accordingly, determine the reliability of the site on which they are installed:

SSL certificate with domain verification . To receive such a certificate, it is enough to go through email validation. A letter will be sent to the mail in the domain name for which the SSL certificate was ordered, with a link, by clicking on which the right to own the domain is confirmed. Such a certificate can be obtained by any legal entity or individual.
SSL certificate with company verification . Possession of such a certificate confirms the existence of a real company that owns this domain. Such an SSL certificate can only be obtained by a legal entity.
SSL certificate with advanced verification . It is the most "status" SSL certificate, since when you go to such a site, the status bar of the browser displays not only information about the secured connection, but also an additional green line with the name of the organization to which this certificate was issued. The procedure for checking such a certificate is similar to checking a company, but it is carried out more carefully.
