SSL certificates for secure websites and HTTPS

An SSL certificate is essential for any website: it enables HTTPS, protects user data and improves SEO ranking. Every domain and hosting plan includes a free DV certificate.

Why you need an SSL certificate

๐Ÿ”’

Mandatory HTTPS

Modern browsers show a "Not secure" warning on sites without SSL. HTTPS is now an indispensable standard for any professional online presence.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Better SEO ranking

Google favours sites with HTTPS in search results. An SSL certificate is a fundamental requirement to compete in organic ranking.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

User data protection

SSL encrypts traffic between browser and server, protecting users' passwords, contact details and payment information from interception.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about SSL certificates

Yes. Every domain registered or transferred to Denali and every active hosting plan automatically includes a free DV SSL certificate. No separate purchase or activation is required.

The free certificate (DV via Let's Encrypt) offers identical encryption to commercial certificates and is perfect for most sites. Commercial Sectigo certificates add a financial warranty, security seal and greater compatibility with legacy software and systems.

Yes, commercial Sectigo certificates can be issued and installed on any server. We provide the certificate files and, on request, installation assistance on Apache, Nginx, IIS and other platforms.

If you have multiple subdomains (e.g. mail.yoursite.com, shop.yoursite.com, staging.yoursite.com), a wildcard certificate covers all of them with a single purchase, simplifying management and reducing costs compared to buying multiple individual certificates.
