Cheap SSL Certificates – LCN.com

Buying an SSL certificate is a good idea for any website. Not only will the added security put your visitors’ minds at ease, SSL can improve your search engine rankings. Websites that constantly relay sensitive information, such as online shops, will need even higher security levels, like those provided by our Extended Validation SSL certificate.

What kind of site do you have?

A personal blog / hobby site
For a personal blog, hobby site, or any website that doesn’t represent a business, we recommend our Domain Validated SSL service. A Domain Validated SSL certificate is quick and easy to install, encrypts all page views, provides a green padlock icon in the browser address bar, and validates your domain name via email.

Large website / personal blog / hobby site
Organisation Validated SSLs (OV for short) are designed for businesses to show customers you are trustworthy and take security very seriously. With Sectigo, it takes up to 5 days to validate your company as a legally registered business and they also check ownership of the domain.

Large business website / online shop
Any kind of business website (or any sites that send and receive sensitive customer information) will hugely benefit from an Extended Validation SSL certificate (EV for short). An EV SSL certificate gives your customers extra peace of mind by not only encrypting your web pages, but also by adding your company name to the green padlock area in the address bar of the browser. To get this additional authentication, some details of your website and business (such as location and company number) are verified by the SSL certificate issuing body. This means your customers know beyond any doubt you are who you say you are and that their personal data is safe.

Large website / business website / personal blog
A Wildcard SSL certificate is recommended for any large website with multiple subdomains. For example: your main website may be “www.mybusiness.co.uk”, with a shop at “shop.mybusiness.co.uk”, and a blog at “blog.mybusiness.co.uk”. A standard SSL certificate would only cover one of these subdomains, which is where a Wildcard SSL comes in very handy. Rather than having to purchase a separate SSL certificate for each of your subdomains you can secure all of them with a single Wildcard SSL cert. Neat, eh?
