Imagine your website to be your home. Now, would you leave it opened at all times exposed to burglary and privacy intrusion? You will keep it under lock and key at all times, right?
If physical key safeguards your home from burglary and intrusion, an SSL certification safeguards your website from hacking and data intrusion.
In other words, an SSL certificate is a security mechanism that encrypts the exchange of data between the server and the user’s browser thus preventing the possibility of hacking.
There are several types of SSL certificates:
- Single Domain Validation SSL certificate
- Organization Validation SSL certificate
- Extended Validation SSL certificate
- Multi Domain SSL certificate
- Wildcard SSL certificate
Each type of SSL certificate has its own unique attributes. If your website is a small one that is growing and if you cannot afford a high-end SSL certificate like the EV SSL certificate then Single domain validation SSL certificate would be the right choice.
But which to select as per website requirement is again a question. Let's see the difference between them.
