The editor will share with you what the RapidSSL certificate is. I hope you will gain a lot after reading this article. Let's discuss it together.

RapidSSL certificates are mainly for users of small websites, so RapidSSL only provides DV-type SSL certificates. DV SSL certificate is characterized by fast issuance and low price. So the RapidSSL certificate is very suitable for small business applications.

To apply for a RapidSSL certificate, you only need to verify the validity of the domain name without verifying the applicant's identity confidence, so the issuing speed of the RapidSSL certificate is very fast. As long as there is no problem with your domain name, it only takes about 20-30 minutes to apply for a RapidSSL certificate. In addition, because the RapidSSL certificate undoubtedly verifies the identity of the applicant, that is, it does not need to participate in the certificate issuing process, it can be issued automatically by the system, which greatly reduces the cost of issuing a certificate. Finally, it is also reflected in the price of the certificate, we can find that the price of the RapidSSL certificate is cheaper.

Insufficient RapidSSL certificate

RapidSSL certificate has the advantages of fast issuing speed and low price. Since there are such advantages, then there will be some shortcomings accordingly.

Insufficient security is the biggest problem with RapidSSL certificates. In addition to encrypting the website data, the SSL certificate also has a very important function, which is the identification of the website identity. Because the RapidSSL certificate does not verify the identity of the applicant when applying, that is to say, as long as anyone has the domain name of the website, he can apply for the SSL certificate. Compared with EV and OV certificates, DV certificates obviously have a big gap in security. When users visit the site, they cannot use the SSL certificate to determine the owner of the current site, so it is difficult to identify phishing sites.

What kind of enterprise is RapidSSL certificate suitable for

Because of the fast issuing speed and low price, RapidSSL certificate is more suitable for small business website application. However, due to the lack of security, RapidSSL certificate is not suitable for medium and large websites to apply.

Medium and large websites should choose SSL certificates of EV type or OV type. Certificate brands such as GlobalSign, DigiCert, GeoTrust and Symantec will launch EV and OV SSL certificates for medium and large websites.
