<\/figure>\n\n\n\nEV Certificates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Extended validation (EV) certificates are the most secure and provide the greatest amount of trust for visitors. Sites that have an EV SSL certificate display it proudly: they have a green browser address bar that also lists the name of the website owner and the Certificate Authority issuing the verification. Different certificate authorities have different requirements for paperwork that needs to be submitted by the applicant, but the process is always more rigorous than that for OV certificates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wildcard Certificates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Wildcard certificates are not another level of verification, but rather a practical solution to a problem of websites with subdomains. By using an asterisk and a period before the domain name, a wildcard SSL certificate can cover all the subdomains you may have on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Range of Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
At CanSpace Solutions, Canada\u2019s leading web hosting provider, all our shared hosting services come with SSL certificates. Our basic hosting packages come with Let\u2019s Encrypt, while the mid-level and professional plans use Comodo, a more trusted certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s Encrypt<\/strong> is a nonprofit service created by the Internet Security Research Group to promote web security by bringing down the cost of SSL certificates. Because Let\u2019s Encrypt is so straightforward, it\u2019s actually easier to implement than some other certificates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our higher level plans come with Comodo<\/strong>, which is a full-featured, traditional SSL certificate. In addition to being generally better regarded than other options, Comodo also has some extra flexibility that those with more robust websites might appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit our SSL and HTTPS knowledge base page<\/a> to find out more, and feel free to contact us<\/a> with any questions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you\u2019ve encountered some info on SSL certificates before and seen a slew of acronyms like OV, EV, and DV, you might have been confused about what these actually mean.
