An Organisation Validated (OV) certificate is a type of HTTPS/TLS certificate that does more than just secure your website—it also proves your business is real and trustworthy.
With an OV certificate, the Certificate Authority (CA) doesn’t just check that you own the domain—it also verifies your company’s legal name, registration, and physical location.
You’ll still get the padlock in the browser, just like with a basic certificate, but behind the scenes, users can view your verified business details. It’s a great way to boost trust—especially if you collect personal information, process payments, or work with other businesses.
You will receive an order link which will allow you to manage your order. You can use this link to configure your order and manage all aspects of your order at anytime.
For HTTPS certificates you will need to supply a CSR which will be used to generate your public certificate. You must also prove control of the domain using either HTTPS, DNS or EMAIL.
A multi-domain certificate (also known as an SAN certificate, short for Subject Alternative Name) lets you secure multiple websites with a single HTTPS/TLS certificate.
Unlike a wildcard certificate (which covers one domain and its subdomains), a multi-domain certificate can cover completely different domain names—like:
yourbusiness.com
yourbusiness.co.uk
yourshop.net
partnersite.org
You don’t need separate certificates for each site—just one to manage and renew.
When you buy an HTTPS/TLS certificate, it often comes with a warranty—but don’t worry, this isn’t something you need to register or pay extra for. It’s basically a promise from the certificate authority (CA) that if they ever issue a certificate incorrectly and it causes financial loss to your customers, the CA will cover the damages—up to a certain amount.
Think of it like a safety net. You’re not expected to need it, but it’s there to build trust and reassure your customers that your security is backed by more than just good intentions.
The amount of the warranty varies depending on the type of certificate—basic ones might offer $10,000, while high-assurance or EV (Extended Validation) certificates can come with $1,000,000 or more.

A wildcard certificate is a special type of HTTPS/TLS certificate that secures your main website and all its subdomains—with just one certificate.
Let’s say your main domain is:
yourbusiness.com
A wildcard certificate would also cover:
www.yourbusiness.com
shop.yourbusiness.com
mail.yourbusiness.com
blog.yourbusiness.com
And any other subdomain you create!
The wildcard part is the asterisk (*) in the domain name—so the cert is issued for *.yourbusiness.com.
