Where is there a free https certificate? is the free HTTPS certificate easy to use? Nowadays, more and more webmasters have realized how important it is to install and deploy a HTTPS certificate for their websites so that users can protect their personal information when they visit the site. Because HTTPS is encrypted data transmission, it can ensure the security of user data. Compared with plaintext transmission HTTP website, it is obvious that HTTPS website is more suitable for today's Internet era.

But when webmasters apply for HTTPS certificates, they may find that HTTPS certificates are so expensive, as high as 10, 000 or as little as a few hundred. For small webmasters, the price of HTTPS certificate is indeed a little high, so is there a free HTTPS certificate on the market at present?

Https free certificate of course there is, this site provides ssl free certificate application. Internet giants such as Aliyun, Baidu Cloud and Tencent Cloud also provide https free certificate applications. If necessary, you can go to the relevant website to find it.

So the question comes again, why are some HTTPS certificates so expensive and some free? Will there be any security problems with free HTTPS certificates?

Generally speaking, free HTTPS certificates are only DV-type single domain name certificates. HTTPS certificates can be divided into three types: EV type, OV type and DV type, and can be divided into single domain name, multi-domain name and wildcard according to the number of domain names. Let's talk about the difference between DV-type single domain name certificates and other paid certificates.

Generally speaking, EV and OV certificates are for enterprises to apply for, and enterprises will provide relevant information about their own enterprises when applying for certificates. Finally, the name of the enterprise can be reflected in the HTTPS certificate. The DV certificate is a certificate for individual users, and it is not necessary to verify the identity of the applicant to apply for the certificate. In the end, the DVD certificate can only reflect the domain name of the website, but not the name of the enterprise. As the DV certificate can not reflect the enterprise information, then the security is naturally not as good as the EV and OV certificates, users can not judge the authenticity of the website from the certificate, and the confidence given to users will be insufficient.

The DV certificate is free of charge. In fact, the reason is that the DV certificate does not need to manually verify the identity of the enterprise, and only needs a machine to verify the domain name to issue the certificate. Without the labor cost, then the natural price can come down.

Unlike EV and OV certificates, these two types of certificates need to be manually verified for enterprise identity, and certificates will not be issued until they are approved. If there is a human cost, it will naturally be reflected in the final certificate price.

If you are a personal webmaster, then you can apply for a https free certificate, and the editor thinks it is enough. However, if you are a corporate user, then the DV certificate is certainly not for you, you should apply for an EV or OV certificate.

SSL certificate securely encrypts the website, which can effectively prevent hijacking, prevent your website from being maliciously implanted with advertisements, prevent tampering and monitoring from leaking users' passwords, and optimize the SEO ranking of search engines with SSL certificates.
