FREE VS PAID SSL CERTIFICATES
Major differences that can affect your business online
FREE SSL Certificate
Free SSL certificates are valid for only 3 months and are provided by non-profit Certificate Authorities (CA). Our free SSL is powered by Let’s Encrypt which is a leading non-profit CA that provides SSL/TLS certificates. Even though free SSL is accessible to all websites, it does not come with support or warranty – absolutely no protection for your website’s end user.
Paid / Premium SSL Certificate
Paid SSL certificates are issued for 1-year or 2-year terms and are signed by a trustworthy certificate authorities (CA). They come with support and warranty. The warranty is a highly-desired insurance for your website’s visitors against loss of money when they submit a payment on an SSL-secured site and is an extra assurance that your website is safe to conduct business transactions online. This is reflected in the Site Seal that comes with a commercial certificate.
