This article will explain in detail how much it generally takes to buy HTTPS. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it for you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Perhaps we all know that HTTP website uses the way of plaintext transmission, which leads to the great risk of personal information disclosure when users submit personal information to the website server. HTTP doesn't seem to be able to adapt to the current Internet age.

HTTPS perfectly fills this security flaw in HTTP. HTTPS uses encrypted data transmission. Before the data is submitted to the server, the browser will use the HTTPS certificate to encrypt the data, and the encrypted information will be transmitted to the server. This can ensure that the user's personal data will not be leaked, improving the security of the website to a level.

So how much does HTTPS cost? Is it expensive to buy a HTTPS certificate? Let's take a look at the price of the HTTPS certificate.

The following is the price list of the SSL certificate on this site, you can refer to the approximate price of the SSL certificate from the above.

The price of HTTPS certificate mainly includes several parts, such as manual audit, certificate type, number of domain names, brand.

Manual audit

One of the important functions of the HTTPS website is the authentication of the website. Users can confirm the identity of the current website through the HTTPS certificate. Therefore, when the HTTPS certificate is issued, the CA institution will strictly authenticate the website applying for the certificate, and the HTTPS certificate will not be issued until the verification is passed. Therefore, a large part of the cost of HTTPS certificates is the cost of manpower, because each certificate needs to be carefully reviewed.

Certificate type

According to the strict degree of identity audit, HTTPS certificates are basically divided into three categories: EV certificates, OV certificates and DV certificates.

EV certificates are verified according to the international standardization process, and the identity verification of EV certificates is the most stringent. So the price of the corresponding EV certificate will be relatively high.

OV certificate also requires manual verification of the true identity of the applicant, but compared with the EV certificate, the audit process is not so harsh, so the OV certificate will be a little cheaper than the EV certificate.

The DV certificate does not verify the identity of the company applying for it, but only verifies whether the applied domain name is valid. The verification of the DV certificate does not require manual participation, and the domain name is verified automatically by the background program. After the verification is passed, the DV certificate can be issued, so the price of the DV certificate is very cheap, but in terms of security, the DV certificate will be much worse.

Number of domain names

The number of domain names directly affects the final price of the HTTPS certificate. According to the number of domain names, it can be divided into single domain name, multiple domain name and wildcard type.

Single domain name: only one website domain name can be supported in a HTTPS certificate, and the fee will only be charged for one domain name.

Multiple domain names: multiple domain names can be supported in a certificate, usually no more than 100. Each additional domain name will increase the price on the original basis. There may be a discount for adding multiple domain names, and the price depends on different agencies.

Wildcard type: the domain name protected by the certificate is implemented in the form of * .domain.com. The general wildcard certificate is used to protect the second-level domain name. For websites with multiple secondary domain names under a primary domain name, the wildcard certificate is very appropriate. Wildcard certificates can support a large number of domain names, so the price will be more expensive than single domain names and multiple domain names, but if you have more secondary digits, the price of wildcard certificates is actually very affordable.

Brand

The brand of certificate is also an important factor affecting the price of HTTPS certificate. Just like NIKE sneakers are bound to be more expensive than other sneakers. HTTPS certificate brands are relatively well-known in the world: GlobalSign, Symantec, DigiCert, GeoTrust and so on. These international brands have many years of technical accumulation in the field of HTTPS certificates, can quickly deal with a variety of unexpected problems, and have good stability. In addition, in terms of the compatibility of certificates, foreign brand certificates are also done better.

On the purchase of HTTPS costs generally need to share here, I hope that the above content can be of some help to you, can learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
