SSL: the encryption every online store needs

Without HTTPS, browsers mark your site "not secure" and payment gateways won't connect. On Seemerce hosting, a free certificate is already active, and you can order Wildcard or organization certificates here too.

  • Free with Seemerce hosting
  • Automatic renewal
  • Usually issued the same day

What does SSL actually do?

An SSL certificate encrypts the connection between a visitor's browser and the server, so information like passwords or card numbers cannot be intercepted. It has also been a Google ranking signal since 2014.

Who it's for and what you get

On Seemerce hosting you usually don't need to do anything; the free certificate is already active. This page is for two groups: sites hosted elsewhere that still lack SSL, and projects that need a Wildcard or OV certificate.

What SSL gives you: the "not secure" warning disappears, payment gateways connect, and one obstacle to good website SEO is removed.

DV, Wildcard or OV: which one fits?

DV, for most sites

Only domain ownership is checked; it's issued in minutes and costs the least. Enough for a company site, blog or small store.

Wildcard, for several subdomains

If subdomains like shop.example.com run alongside the main domain, one certificate covers them all.

OV, for official brands

Your organization's identity is checked too, which builds more trust for large stores or sensitive brands; company documents are required.

If you're not sure

In most cases the free option is enough; on Seemerce hosting you never have to buy a paid certificate.

How it's issued

1

Choose a plan

Set the plan that matches your workload and your billing period.

2

Place your order & pay

Record your contact details and settle the amount by card-to-card transfer or bank gateway.

3

Service activation

Once the transaction clears, the service goes live and its access credentials are sent to you.

On Seemerce Linux, WordPress, and WooCommerce hosting, the free certificate is issued, installed and renewed automatically.

Common errors after installing SSL

Even with a valid certificate, these can still appear:

Mixed content

Some images or scripts still load from an HTTP address. Correcting this on WordPress is usually a database search-and-replace.

"Connection not private"

The certificate wasn't renewed, or the server doesn't recognize the new one; the most common reason stores without auto-renewal go offline.

Domain name mismatch

The certificate covers example.com but www.example.com also runs; a SAN or Wildcard certificate resolves it.

Incorrect redirect

An incomplete HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect wastes SEO value; setting it up properly is part of our website security service.

What you get from Seemerce for your visitor's trust

Without HTTPS the browser labels your site not secure and a payment gateway will not connect. On Seemerce hosting a free certificate is already active.

Six points before choosing an SSL certificate

We read the pages of Let's Encrypt, Sectigo and Google's guidance and lined our offer up against each point.

1

DV for most sites

Sectigo says DV is the fastest, cheapest way and checks domain ownership only; it is issued in minutes.

With us On Seemerce hosting a free DV certificate is already active.

2

A free certificate

Let's Encrypt gives certificates free; the default lasts 90 days and it recommends renewing every 60.

With us Auto-renewal; you do not need to remember.

3

Wildcard

A wildcard covers the main domain and unlimited subdomains in one certificate. Let's Encrypt issues them too but requires DNS-01 validation.

With us If you have subdomains such as shop.example.com, one Wildcard DV covers them all.

4

OV and organisation identity

Sectigo: OV also verifies business legitimacy; Let's Encrypt says it has no plans for OV or EV.

With us Organisation OV is for formal brands and needs registration documents. We do not offer EV on this page.

5

SEO

Google counts HTTPS as a ranking signal but a light one: under 1% of global queries and “one of many signals”.

With us SSL removes one SEO barrier; it does not guarantee rank.

6

Issuance time

Sectigo: from a few minutes to a few days, depending on type and documents.

With us Issuance is usually the same day; OV timing depends on completing documents.

What we don't do

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a paid SSL certificate actually required?

For most sites, no. The free certificate has the same DV encryption; you only need a paid one for Wildcard or OV.

What is the real security difference between free and paid?

None in encryption strength; the difference is identity verification level and features such as multi-subdomain coverage.

How long does a certificate last?

Free Let's Encrypt renews automatically every 90 days; paid certificates renew yearly, at the original purchase rate.

What happens without SSL?

Browsers show a "not secure" warning, payment gateways will not connect, and rank falls behind HTTPS competitors.

How long does installation take?

Usually minutes on Seemerce hosting; OV can take a few business days because your organization is verified.

Can SSL be installed on any domain?

Yes, provided the domain's DNS points to the server. For a new domain, first register it and set up DNS.

Which certificate suits an online store?

DV is sufficient for most stores; OV for a large brand, Wildcard for multiple subdomains such as a panel or blog.

Does switching hosting affect my SSL?

When we move your site to Seemerce for free, we issue and install a new free certificate at the same time.

How often people search for this, in four markets

SSL is 673,000 searches a month at a difficulty of 100 in the United States and 1,600 searches at a difficulty of 18 in Turkey. That is the widest difficulty gap in this dataset. A market four hundred times smaller can still be the one worth writing for.
