Reasons to buy your Pladinum SSL Certificate

Our Managed SSLs are now renewed every 90 days, offering better protection for your site. This is more frequent than the industry standard of once a year.

Leave hackers with no chance

With an HTTPS connection, hackers stand no chance of getting their hands on your valuable data like login or payment information.

Compliance with regulation standards

An SSL certificate protects online businesses and helps them meet standards like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, HITECH, GDPR, and more.

Increase SEO ranking

Search engines prefer websites that use https, ranking them higher in search results.

Safe mobile and online payment

Free SSL vs Paid SSL: What's the difference

Free SSL is suitable for many projects. Paid SSL is designed for businesses that require trust, validation, and support.

Free SSL from Let's Encrypt

What it is good for

Let's Encrypt provides free, domain-validated (DV) SSL certificates. It encrypts traffic and enables HTTPS.

Premium paid SSL

Why businesses choose it

Premium SSL certificates go beyond encryption and are designed for commercial trust, credibility, and risk reduction.

Frequently asked questions

The SSL certificate you need depends on what type of website you run and how much trust you need to show visitors.

• Personal websites, blogs, or portfolios → A Domain Validation (DV) SSL is usually sufficient. It encrypts traffic and removes browser security warnings.
• Business websites collecting customer data or logins → An Organization Validation (OV) SSL is recommended. It verifies your company identity and builds trust.
• Ecommerce, SaaS, or payment websites → An Extended Validation (EV) SSL provides the highest level of trust and is ideal for transactions and sensitive data.

If you are unsure, using an SSL selection wizard can help you choose the correct certificate in seconds.

For ecommerce websites, an Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificate is the best choice.

• EV SSL is designed for:
• Online stores
• Payment processing
• Customer accounts
• High-value or sensitive transactions

EV SSL certificates verify the legal identity of the business and provide the highest level of customer confidence, which can reduce cart abandonment and increase conversions.

If your ecommerce site operates multiple subdomains, an EV Wildcard SSL may be the most scalable solution.

An SSL certificate is a digital security feature that protects data shared between your website and visitors sent, such as passwords, contact details, payment details and other sensitive information. It keeps sensitive information safe from hackers. The padlock icon or "https" in the browser shows your website is secure.

SSL certificates are crucial, not only for the protection of users, but also for search engine optimization (SEO) and website visibility. Since August 2014, Google has conveyed that SSL should be implemented to ensure both in-house and the Internet at large are safer. For this reason, Google gives preference to websites with valid SSL certificates, with their algorithms consistently ranking SSL-enabled websites higher in search results.

While Google still considers other factors important in ranking websites, the security of a website is essential for its success. It is probable that even more weight will be given to user safety in the future. Acquiring an SSL certificate allows you to provide your customers with confidence in the security of their personal information and helps boost your website's ranking above those without SSL. Your customers will value the trust and assurance your website exudes, encouraging them to return repeatedly.

Sectigo is the SSL provider of Pladinum. Sectigo is a reputable company specializing in Internet security. By choosing an SSL from Sectigo, you will benefit from:

• Ongoing investment in enhanced security
• Comprehensive compensation in case of any mishaps
• A 90-day money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied
• Free reissue in case of a spelling mistake or loss of the SSL certificate

Cheap SSL certificates (e.g. a free SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt) have some limitations compared to the more expensive ones.

Affordable SSL certificates do not allow for comprehensive validation, meaning that organizational details cannot be incorporated into them. Consequently, your visitors will have less confidence in you. Limited trust leads to restricted sales, which is why online retailers should refrain from utilizing inexpensive SSL certificates. An SSL certificate with extended validation ensures at least a 25% increase in sales.

A complimentary SSL certificate, such as those issued by Let's Encrypt, is only suitable for a website. For file servers, applications, emails, and similar purposes, a paid SSL certificate is necessary.

Moreover, you cannot utilize a Wildcard SSL certificate for all your subdomains. Therefore, a premium certificate (such as one with extended validation) is advisable in this case as well. Furthermore, with a cheap SSL certificate, you are unable to include the Sectigo Trust Seal on your payment page. By including their emblem, your visitors will have greater trust in you.

Lastly, if you opt for a free SSL certificate, you will not be entitled to any compensation in the event of misuse.

Submitting an application for an SSL certificate is a straightforward process. Begin by submitting your application through our website, and we will manage all further steps. Depending on the validation type you select (domain validation, organization validation, or extended validation), your application will either be promptly processed or your organization will undergo verification shortly thereafter. This verification is essential for organization validation or extended validation to confirm the legitimacy of the requesting company. Only upon successful verification will the company details be incorporated into the certificate.

All SSL certificates provide the same strong TLS encryption. The difference lies in how much identity verification is performed.

• DV (Domain Validation)
Verifies ownership of the domain only. Best for personal or informational websites.

• OV (Organization Validation)
Verifies the business behind the website, including company details. Ideal for professional and business websites.

• EV (Extended Validation)
Requires the most rigorous verification and provides the highest level of trust. Best for ecommerce, financial services, and high-risk transactions.

In short:
DV = basic security, OV = verified business trust, EV = maximum trust and credibility.

There is no single “best” SSL certificate for every website — the best choice depends on use case.

• For a simple website or blog → DV SSL
• For a business or company website → OV SSL
• For an ecommerce or high-trust website → EV SSL

The best SSL certificate is the one that matches:

• Your website type
• The level of trust your visitors expect
• Whether you collect personal or payment data

Choosing the correct SSL improves security, trust, and user confidence without unnecessary complexity.

Disclaimer

*1: We will install your SSL certificate for free if you host your website and domain with Pladinum and purchased the SSL certificate for that domain. If you need help installing an SSL certificate on external hosting, please contact our sales team for assistance.

*2: You can request a full refund for SSL plans within 30 days of purchase. However, for Managed SSL, once the installation of the SSL certificate is completed, the purchase is non-refundable.

Managed WordPress hosting is a type of web hosting that makes it easier to run a WordPress site by handling important technical tasks for you. Unlike regular web hosting, managed WordPress hosting offers a stable platform, dedicated support, better security, and continuous updates to keep your site running well. This lets site owners concentrate on creating content and growing their business instead of dealing with technical details.

If you’re not into tech or find troubleshooting hard, managed WordPress hosting is perfect for you. It allows you to focus on creating content and running your business, giving you more time to grow your online presence.

Managed WordPress hosting is a good investment if you lack the technical skills to manage a server or if your resources could be better used elsewhere.

Managed hosting takes care of tasks like updates, backups, security, and performance, allowing you to focus on your business and website. It also frees up your team’s resources without sacrificing speed or security.

Not all managed WordPress hosting is the same. While all providers offer services tailored for WordPress, there are key differences in platform features, performance, support, and pricing. Pladinum provides LiteSpeed with NVMe storage and an optimized setup, making our hosting up to 40% faster than others.

Our hosting resources are finely tuned for WordPress, featuring intelligent caching solutions, robust layered security measures, and advanced edge computing capabilities. These optimizations ensure that your website runs smoothly and efficiently, even during peak traffic times. Furthermore, our dedicated support team is not only well-versed in WordPress, but many of its members are genuine enthusiasts who have been using the platform since its launch in 2014. Over the years, they have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience, mastering various aspects of WordPress, and are always prepared to assist you with any queries or challenges you may encounter along the way.

WordPress Managed hosting is designed for WordPress sites, ensuring fast performance without needing any manual changes, plugins, or memory adjustments. In comparison, basic web hosting often requires these tweaks for similar performance. Pladinum’s WordPress Managed hosting also comes with built-in security, so you don’t have to worry about setting up firewalls or running malware checks, letting you focus on creating content and marketing.
