Сhoose wisely!


In a glance, the Free SSL option provides you with the basics to secure your site over HTTPS. It also gives your visitors a greater sense of trust in your site when they see the “Green Padlock” next to your URL.

However, the above shows the other factors to consider when comparing Free SSLs with Paid SSLs from trusted providers. Choose a Paid SSL for a greater peace of mind for you and your visitors when your site is live.

What's the difference?


Free SSL

Free SSl

Free SSL works as a Domain-Validated SSL for your website, providing you with the basic security and encryption between your visitors and your site. It is a new initiative launched by cPanel and powered by Comodo SSL, providing most cPanel setups with this Free SSL function.
