COMODO POSITIVE SSL
Pricey certificates are targeted at companies with large budgets. They require complicated legal verification procedures and operation history that are just excessive for someone who needs a simple SSL for a Facebook app or login page. We bet you'd rather spend that money on a fancy photo lens or a new gadget if a modest "HTTPS" is all you really need.
Comodo Positive SSL doesn't require complicated validation. It's issued before you can say "blueberry pie" (well, after 5–15 minutes of waiting once you've activated the certificate). However, Comodo may select random orders for additional brand validation. In such a case, the SSL will be issued within the timeframe determined by Comodo. Sorry, friends — don't blame us.
All SSL certs provide your website with security, but there are varying levels of it. The bigger the key, the harder it is to decode. The precise encryption value of Positive SSL falls into the 40- to the 256-bit range. Most browsers/operating systems work at the 128-bit level, which is quite secure according to modern security standards. 256-bit encryption level can be reached if numerous factors match — when your site's hosting settings and your visitors' browser settings are configured to operate at 256-bit level — but this is mostly out of your control. Devices that work at only 40-bit are as extinct as triceratops (some people believe they never even existed).
Hey! Once you join the team, don't forget to keep the email in your profile updated. We send reminders 30 days before SSL expiration and no one wants them to go to Nowhere Land.
What is a Domain name?
A domain name is your website name. The domain name must be registered before you can use it.
A domain name is your website name. A domain name is an address where Internet users can access your website. A domain name is used for finding and identifying computers on the Internet. Computers use IP addresses, which are a series of numbers. However, it is difficult for humans to remember strings of numbers. Because of this, domain names were developed and used to identify entities on the Internet rather than using IP addresses.
A domain name can be any combination of letters and numbers, and it can be used in combination with various domain name extensions, such as .com, .net, and more.
Q: WHERE DO I PUT MY DOMAIN NAME, TO ACTIVATE THE CERTIFICATE?
A: Contact your hosting provider, ask them to generate a CSR (certificate signing request) for your domain name, and then get back to us.
Q: WHAT DOMAIN SHOULD I USE? WITH WWW OR WITHOUT?
A: Comodo PositiveSSL is flexible. Whatever version you choose to put into the CSR, both URLs (with www and without) will be covered.
Q: WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO CHECK BEFORE ACTIVATING SSL?
A: You'll need a dedicated IP address if your hosting provider can't install your SSL on a shared IP.
Q: SO CHEAP! DO YOU HAVE ANY HIDDEN FEES?
A: Nope, we can offer the lowest prices on the market for any Comodo products because we are their platinum partner. What a blast!
Q: WHAT DOES WARRANTY MEAN?
A: 128- to 256-bit certs are nearly impossible to crack, in case you were wondering. But if some evil genius decrypts your SSL and steals the data transmitted via a secure connection (a client's credit card, for instance), Comodo will pay warranty compensation to the victim of such fraud.
Q: WHAT'S SSL ASSURANCE?
A: The higher the assurance level, the more information you need to provide to Comodo before they'll approve your certificate request. PositiveSSL has low assurance — all you need to confirm is that you own the domain you apply for the SSL with.
