Frequently asked questions

Is SSL not free with hosting?

Every hosting plan includes a free AutoSSL certificate. A paid certificate adds a warranty, a site seal and, with OV and EV, your company name in the certificate.

What is the difference between DV, OV and EV?

DV checks that you control the domain. OV also checks your company. EV is the most thorough check and is meant for shops, banks and other sites that take payments.
