What types of certificates are there?
There are three different types of SSL/TLS certificates.
DV – Domain Validated
This level of validation checks that you have control over the domain name you want to get a certificate for. This can be done by you uploading a file to the domain name that then is accessible over the internet. The certificate authority can download that file and that will verify to them that you have control over the domain name. They can also send you an email with a link that you have to click on to verify that you have control over the domain name.
OV – Organization Validated
This level of validation also checks that the company that owns the domain name also is the company that is requesting the certificate. This certificate also displays your company information in the certificate.
EV – Extended Validation
This is the highest level of validation. In addition to the checks performed for a DV certificate the certificate authority also calls the company and checks public registers to verify that the company owns the domain name and that they are who they say they are.

We offer free SSL certificates from Lets Encrypt (DV) if you have a web hosting account, an Agency service, or a Managed Server with us.
