Is an SSL certificate free?
Some website hosting providers offer free SSL certificates. While any SSL certificate is better than none, free SSL certificates typically offer the lowest security level (DV). Additionally, paid SSL certificates often offer a warranty to protect your site visitors against any potential SSL-related security threats, while free versions generally do not. Read our guide to learn more about the cost of an SSL certificate.
Is TLS better than SSL?
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is just an updated protocol known as SSL. While theyβre one and the same, we generally use the term SSL. Technology changes quickly but the terms donβt always follow, so this is a valid question.
Is SSL for free safe?
While itβs true that all SSL certificates essentially do the same thing, a free SSL certificate is typically the lowest security option (DV) and it probably wonβt come with a warranty. So, they are only safe to a degree. But if a security threat happens, your site visitors might not be able to claim a warranty.
Hi All, bit new to the scene.
One of our SSL certificates is up for renewal and I've been asked to find a provider that is comparable to our current one. We currently use Certificates for Exchange. I wanted to find out who you use as there seem to be quite a lot of providers and I'm getting a bit lost in the options.
It would be great if they had the following:
- MSP Style login protected by MFA
- Central management portal for several clients
- Email notifications for renewals
- Good value for the service.
Thanks in advance! Let me know if you have any questions :)
