SSL Certificates protect your customers' sensitive information by encrypting the data they send to you, then decrypting it once you’ve received it.
Which one I need?
If you want to sell to a much larger audience you need to give customers the payment options they prefer — AND an SSL to keep them clicking through to checkout.
Our SSL certificates use an SHA-2 digest method and 2048-bit encryption to protect sensitive data. Together, they provide the best protection on the market today.
The green lock in the browser bar and the "s" in https mean a site is secure in every language. Have both on your site to show your visitors you care that their data is safe.
Any certificate must be verified by the issuing Certificate Authority (or CA). Although all SSL certificates use similar methods to protect and validate your data, a useful way to categorize them is by validation method. The easiest verification confirms a control of the domain (for DV certificates). However, more steps can be taken to also confirm the existence of the requesting company or organization (for OV certificates) or to establish even more trust through extended vetting (for EV certificates)
This is the lowest level of authentication used to issue SSL certificates. The Certificate Authority (CA) will issue this certificate to anyone listed as the domain admin contact in the public record associated with a domain name.
Situations where trust and credibility are less important such as personal websites and small forums that need basic encryption for things like logins, forms or other non-transactional data.
- Easy to obtain
- Fast issuance
- Use only for web-based applications that are not at risk for phishing or fraud.
- Avoid using for websites that handle sensitive data.
OV is the more secure step up from DV. As well as checking up on ownership of the domain name, the Certificate Authority will also carry out additional vetting of the organization and individual applying for the certificate.
Public-facing websites dealing with less sensitive transactional data.
- More thorough vetting process than DV.
- Company information is displayed to users.
- Provides a certain level of trust about the company who owns the website.
OV Certificates do not offer the highest visible display of trust like EV SSL (green browser bar).
This is the gold standard in SSL certificates. EV verification guidelines require the Certificate Authority to run a much more rigorous identity check on the organization or individual applying for the certificate.
E-commerce sites and websites handling credit card and other sensitive data.
- EV Certificates come with the green browser address bar.
- Increase user trust and lower bounce rates and shopping cart abandonment.
Although EV Certificates have a higher cost, it’s possible to recoup the extra cost of an EV certificate in the form of increased revenue.

SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. It might sound complex, but it's really not. SSL Certificates validate your website's identity, and encrypt the information visitors send to, or receive from, your site. This keeps thieves from spying on any exchange between you and your shoppers.
When you have an SSL Certificate protecting your website, your customers can rest assured that the information they enter on any secured page is private and can't be viewed by cyber crooks. GoDaddy makes it easy to install your certificate and secure your server
