Domain Validation SSL Certificates
Domain Validation (DV) certificates prove that you control the domain, and they are available to everyone: individuals, businesses and public bodies. No documents or phone calls are needed. You confirm the domain by email, a DNS record or a file on your website, and the certificate is usually issued within minutes.
DV encrypts traffic exactly as strongly as OV and EV, so it suits blogs, personal websites, small shops and internal tools. Every DV certificate comes with free reissues, unlimited server licences and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

DV SSL FAQ
01Is a DV certificate enough for an online shop?
02How do I prove that I control the domain?
Pick one method when you order: answer an email sent to an address like admin@ your domain, add a DNS record, or upload a small file to your website.
03How fast is a DV certificate issued?
Usually within minutes after the domain check. No documents and no phone call are needed.
04Does a DV certificate cover both www and the domain without www?
Yes. A single-domain certificate for example.com also covers www.example.com.
05Why pay for DV when free certificates exist?
The encryption is the same. A paid certificate adds a multi-year subscription with free reissues, a warranty, a site seal, a choice of certificate authorities, our support and a 30-day refund.
06Can I buy a DV certificate for several years?
Yes, as a 1-5 year subscription. Browsers now limit a single certificate to 200 days (from March 2026, falling to 100 days in 2027 and 47 days in 2029), so during the subscription you reissue the certificate for free, or let automation do it. Automated SSL · Read more about certificate lifetimes
