What is SSL?

Secure Sockets Layer, SSL, is the standard security technology for creating an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browser remain private and integral, which is essential for protecting credit card transactions, passwords, personal details, etc. In order to be able to generate an SSL link, a web server requires an SSL Certificate, which you can order here.

Why should I choose QualitySSL?

In order for your customer's browser to seamlessly use an SSL certificate, they must trust the "Root Certificate". Our root certificate is trusted by over 99% of all current browsers. This makes QualitySSL Certificates as trusted as the more expensive certificates from Verisign and Thawte.

QualitySSL Certificates are industry standard 256 bit SSL certificates, the strongest encryption level available commercially for SSL, which encrypts transactions trillions of times stronger than 40 bit SSL certificates.

In order to provide you with a highly trustable SSL certificate, we validate to a much stronger level than other SSL providers. The validation process we use to issue a QualitySSL Certificate is considerably more than just a domain name ownership check since we firmly believe this method alone to be insufficient to maintain the level of integrity in SSL that consumers have come to expect.

Customer care and support is an essential part of our business as we strive to do everything we can to ensure our customers satisfaction! You can expect both email and telephone support for any issues you may face or questions you may have during any stage of applying for, installing or using your QualitySSL Certificate. We also offer a 30 day money back guarantee and 30 days free replacement & revocation of your QualitySSL Certificate for your total peace of mind.

Can I try QualitySSL before I buy?

Yes, you can test the quality of our root certificate by accessing our SSL Test Page with your browser. You can also test drive a QualitySSL certificate on your own server by ordering a FREE QualitySSL Trial Certificate.
