FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a paid certificate?
For most websites, the free Let's Encrypt certificate included with hosting is sufficient. Choose a commercial certificate when you need organisation validation, a warranty, a trust seal or wildcard coverage.
How long does issuance take?
Domain-validated certificates are issued in minutes. Organisation-validated certificates take one to five business days while the certificate authority verifies your company.
Can you install it on a server hosted elsewhere?
Yes, as a remote support engagement.
