The right certificate for every application

SSL/TLS is mandatory – the validation level is a strategic choice. We can help you choose the right certificate for your website, online shop or corporate portal.

DV – Domain Validation

Issued quickly and ideal for websites, blogs and projects: confirms ownership of the domain and enables HTTPS encryption.

OV – Organisation Validation

It also verifies your organisation – clearly shown on the certificate. The right choice for corporate websites and online shops that interact with customers.

EV – Extended Validation

The highest level of verification with rigorous identity validation – maximum trust for banks, insurance companies and e-commerce businesses with high standards.

Wildcard & Multi-domain

Secure as many subdomains as you like with a wildcard certificate, or multiple domains with a single certificate – simple to manage, easy to renew.

Safety through collaboration

SSL FAQ

Everything you need to know about SSL certificates

What is the difference between DV, OV and EV?

DV (Domain Validation) confirms ownership of the domain and is issued quickly. OV (Organisation Validation) also verifies your organisation. EV (Extended Validation) is the most rigorous verification level, involving comprehensive identity validation – for maximum trust.

Which certificate do I need?

For websites and projects, DV is usually sufficient. Corporate websites and online shops benefit from OV, as the organisation’s details are visible in the certificate. EV is recommended for financial service providers and e-commerce sites with high trust requirements. We’d be happy to advise you.

What is a wildcard certificate?

A certificate that secures a domain and all its subdomains – for example, *.example.de for www, shop and app all at once. This makes management and renewal much simpler.

Do the certificates work with my Centron services?

Yes. SSL certificates can be used on web hosting packages, ccloud³ VMs, managed servers and load balancers – centron can take care of the installation and renewal on request.

What happens when a certificate expires?

To ensure it never comes to that, we monitor expiry dates and make sure certificates are renewed on time – meaning expired certificates and browser warnings are a thing of the past.
