SSL.com

SSL.com is a publicly trusted Certificate Authority (CA) established in 2006 and headquartered in Houston, Texas. It offers a full spectrum of digital certificate products--including DV, OV, and EV SSL/TLS certificates, code signing (including timestamping), S/MIME for email encryption, and Adobe AATL-certified document signing. For VPS and cloud server administrators, SSL.com supports ACME v2 automation with full RFC 8555 compliance--enabling seamless, scriptable issuance and renewal via tools like Certbot or custom integrations, reducing manual overhead and eliminating expiration-related outages. As a CA/Browser Forum member since 2011, SSL.com adheres strictly to Baseline Requirements v1.9.1+, including strict domain validation controls, CAA enforcement, CT log submission (via Google, DigiCert, and others), and mandatory 398-day maximum validity for public TLS certificates. Compared to Let's Encrypt (free, DV-only, no warranty), Sectigo (broad distribution but limited EV options), and DigiCert (premium pricing, enterprise focus), SSL.com delivers mid-tier value: robust EV/OV support, strong automation, and transparent pricing--especially on multi-year EV certificates. It offers both RSA (2048/3072/4096-bit) and ECC (P-256/P-384) certificate options, giving VPS owners flexibility for performance, compatibility, and future-proofing. Its Extended Validation certificates include up to $1.75M warranty coverage--backed by underwriters and verified annually. SSL.com undergoes rigorous independent audits each year for WebTrust for CAs (v2022) and ETSI EN 319 411-1 compliance, with full audit reports published publicly on its website--ensuring accountability and trust transparency unmatched by many peers..
