Regardless of the size of your site – all sites now require SSL certificates. This affects both the ranking of your site in search results and the credibility of the site by its visitors.

What does DV SSL certificate mean?

DV in ssl certificates stands for Domain Validation or Domain Validation. These are the simplest certificates that perform only one type of verification – domain verification.

Technical parameters of SSL certificates.

Technically, certificates with domain validation differ from each other in two ways:

  • By certification centers. Here you should choose the certification center that you trust the most. And if you are lost in the choice – just choose the cheapest, in most cases that will be enough.
  • By the number of domains the certificate protects. Basic certificates – only for one domain, wildcard certificates – protect all subdomains of one domain, san certificates help to protect several different domains at once.


Well, there are some very special certificates, which combine all the advantages of the previous types: SAN wildcard certificates – they can protect different domains and all subdomains of these domains. That is, one such certificate you can secure a number of your projects at once.

To verify such a certificate, you can choose from three options:

  1. Check by email. In this case, when ordering, you choose from a list of email addresses to which you have access. You will receive an email from the certification center with a link to go to this address.
  2. File placement – this option is no longer available for all certificate authorities. In this case, you will need to place on hosting or in the cloud, where your site is located – a special file and make sure that it is available at the link provided by the certification center.
  3. Check through DNS. As a rule, you need to create a CNAME-type entry in the domain zone file in the control panel of your hoster.

Why order DV SSL?

It is worth ordering certificates with domain validation in several cases:

  • In case you need an ssl certificate as quickly as possible. Because the entire verification process is fully automated. You don’t have to wait for a manual check. As soon as you complete all the necessary steps – the certificate will be issued immediately. That is, you can get a certificate in 5-10 minutes after ordering and payment.
  • You have a small project, but you want to get an extra bonus in site ranking from Google.
  • You have forms on your site that visitors fill out and you would like to ensure that the data you send is encrypted.

Frequently Asked Questions

DV certificates are faster and easier to issue than all other types of certificates. To obtain a certificate, it is enough to confirm the ownership of the domain, and it is not required to verify the existence of the company. That’s why a DV certificate can be obtained by an individual.

No, such a certificate is issued for one domain and is not valid for its subdomains. To protect subdomains, you need a Wildcard certificate.

If the site transmits visitors’ personal information and no certificate is installed, all data will be transmitted in the public domain. Then the fraudster can intercept the data and use it for his own purposes. To avoid such situations, you need an SSL certificate – it encrypts the information.

By default, you can confirm the domain by email – a letter with a unique code and a link for confirmation will be sent to the domain email. But you can change the check method to CNAME, TXT records or HTTP/HTTPS validation. Read more about alternative ways to verify the domain in the article.
