Encryption end to end
Data between your visitor and your server is encrypted, so it cannot be read or altered in transit.
SSL Certificates
An SSL certificate encrypts traffic between your visitor and your site — and it is now the difference between looking like a business and looking like a risk. Our install guide walks you through it, and Managed SSL is there if you would rather hand it to us.
Certificates from $67.99/year — the price for every certificate type is printed below, renewals included.
What you are buying
A certificate is a promise from a certificate authority that the site at this address is who it claims to be. This is what that promise looks like once it has been issued.
Data between your visitor and your server is encrypted, so it cannot be read or altered in transit.
Issued by a certificate authority that every browser already trusts, so visitors never see a warning.
Search engines favour secure sites, and unencrypted pages are actively marked down.
Cover every subdomain on a domain with one wildcard certificate instead of buying several.
Our step-by-step article covers the common server setups. If you would rather not touch it, the Managed SSL Service installs and renews it for you.
Pricing
Domain validated (DV) is the right choice for most sites. Organisation validated (OV) and extended validation (EV) add a verified business identity. Wildcards cover every subdomain.
Pricing excludes applicable taxes and ICANN fees. Prices shown are first-term prices; the renewal price is shown on each plan before you pay. Sixteen options in total, across domain, organisation and extended validation, up to $487.99 per year. Every button opens our storefront, which lists Organisation Validation first — choose Domain Validation there for the cheapest options. Verified against our storefront on 2026-10-09. Certificates are sold per year, not per month.
Coverage, expiry, and how long issuance takes.
Already included?
Some plans ship with SSL switched on. Check the list before you add a certificate to your cart.
SSL is switched on from day one, on every tier — your site is served over HTTPS without you buying or installing anything.
Deluxe and Ultimate include free, unlimited SSL for every website on the account. Starter and Economy do not — there you add a certificate separately.
Deluxe and Ultimate include SSL with the plan, so there is nothing extra to buy for those tiers.
If your plan does not include SSL, you can either install a certificate yourself — our guide covers the common server setups — or let us take the whole job off your hands.
We install, validate and renew the certificate for you, with 90-day re-issuance and a lifecycle dashboard. From $199.99/year.
Good to know: the managed service covers WordPress and Web Hosting on our own platform. It does not apply to a self-managed server or a site hosted elsewhere.
Unsure which certificate?
If you have subdomains or several sites, the right choice is not always obvious. Send us the list and we will tell you the cheapest way to cover all of it.
