The necessity of free and paid SSL certificates
The difference between free SSL certificate and paid SSL certificate
in recent years, Google, Apple, Baidu and other companies have been promoting the popularity of HTTPS. As a necessary configuration of HTTPS security protocol, SSL certificate has naturally become one of the important deployment projects for website and App developers.
A free SSL certificate is a free DV SSL certificate that protects a complete domain name and does not support wildcards. The free SSL certificate only needs to verify the domain name information, so it can be issued quickly.
Paid SSL certificate is mainly divided into three categories: paid DV SSL certificate, enterprise OV SSL certificate and enhanced EV SSL certificate. OV SSL certificate and EV SSL certificate all need to do strict identity verification for applicants, and they need to provide trusted × × Ming. The time of issuance is usually 5-7 working days. Compared with DV SSL certificate, OV SSL certificate and EV SSL certificate need strict identity verification, including the applicant's authorization, business license, organization code certificate and other important information.
Free DV certificate for personal blogs, small and micro businesses, API services and other business, can save a sum of money, free DV certificate can meet the basic encryption requirements, improve users' trust in the site, as well as search engine optimization of SEO. Of course, if there are economic conditions, paid SSL certificate is a better choice; for large and medium-sized enterprise websites, financial platforms and government agencies, paid OV, EV certificate is more applicable. The paid SSL certificate not only has a higher encryption verification for the information transmission process, but also can use the SSL certificate to highlight the brand image and create a more reliable image for consumers.
