SSLs For Free

What is an SSL certificate and why do I need one?

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate encrypts data transmitted between your website and its visitors. It activates the padlock icon and HTTPS in the browser address bar. You need one because it protects sensitive information, builds visitor trust, improves your SEO rankings on Google, and is required by most browsers to avoid 'Not Secure' warnings.

Is the SSL certificate really free?

Yes, absolutely! We provide Domain Validated (DV) SSL certificates at zero cost. There are no hidden fees, no credit card required, and no trial periods. Our free certificates use the same 256-bit encryption as paid certificates.

How long does the SSL certificate last?

Our free SSL certificates are valid for 90 days. You can renew them unlimited times at no cost. We recommend setting up auto-renewal or a calendar reminder so your certificate never expires.

How do I install the SSL certificate on my server?

After generating your certificate, you'll download three files: the certificate, the private key, and the CA bundle. Installation varies by server — cPanel has an SSL/TLS Manager, Apache uses VirtualHost configuration, and Nginx uses ssl_certificate directives.

Do you support wildcard and multi-domain certificates?

Yes! We support wildcard certificates (e.g., *.yourdomain.com) that secure your main domain and all its subdomains. We also support multi-domain (SAN) certificates that can protect multiple different domains under a single certificate.

What domain verification methods are available?

We offer three domain verification methods: HTTP File Upload (upload a verification file to your website's root directory), DNS CNAME Record (add a CNAME record to your domain's DNS settings), and Email Verification (confirm ownership via an email sent to [email protected]).

Will the free SSL certificate be trusted by all browsers?

Yes. Our SSL certificates are trusted by 99.9% of browsers and devices, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and mobile browsers on Android and iOS.

What happens when my SSL certificate expires?

When an SSL certificate expires, browsers will display a 'Not Secure' or 'Your connection is not private' warning to visitors. To avoid this, simply generate a new certificate before the expiration date. We recommend renewing at least 7 days before expiry. The renewal process is completely free.
