Which certificate?

Match the certificate to the site

Every certificate encrypts traffic equally well. What you pay for is how much the authority checks about you, and how many names one certificate covers.

A personal blog or portfolioHosted with VirtualCloud
Free AutoSSL

Included with your hosting and renewed automatically. A paid certificate adds nothing your visitors will notice.

A company websiteClients check who they're dealing with
OV SSL

Puts your verified legal name in the certificate details, which procurement teams and careful customers do look at.

An online storeTaking UPI and card payments
OV SSL

DV is enough to encrypt checkout. OV adds a verified business name for shoppers who check before paying.

Many subdomainsshop., blog., app., mail.
DV Wildcard

One certificate for every first-level subdomain, including ones you haven't created yet.

Several domainsbrand.in, brand.com, brand.co.in
Multi-domain DV

Three different domains on one certificate and one renewal date, instead of three to track.

A bank, fintech or regulated serviceVendor and security audits
EV SSL

Browsers no longer show a green bar for EV; its value is the strictest vetting, which auditors and partners may ask for.

How to buy and install an SSL certificate in four steps

You place the order; we generate the request, chase the validation and, on our hosting, install the certificate for you.

  1. 01

    Order

    Pick the certificate and the term. We generate the private key and CSR on your server, or you paste your own CSR.

    Validate

    DV: approve an email or add a DNS record — minutes, unless a CAA record blocks the CA (see CAA records explained). OV: company documents, 1–3 business days. EV: full vetting, 3–7 business days.

Certificate lifetimes

Why your certificate lasts 200 days, not a year

The CA/Browser Forum — the body of certificate authorities and browser makers that sets the rules — voted in Ballot SC-081 to shorten the maximum life of every public certificate in stages.

Public certificates are limited to 200 days from 15 March 2026, 100 days from March 2027 and 47 days from March 2029. So a 1-, 2- or 3-year purchase is a subscription: you pay once and we issue, re-validate and reissue the certificate as often as the rules require, with a reminder before each reissue.
One 3-year subscription from Oct 202613 certificates

One price, about 13 certificates. Every reissue and re-validation is included — on our hosting, each one is installed for you.

Included with every certificate

No add-ons, no reissue fees

The same support and tooling comes with a ₹799 DV certificate as with EV.

SSL certificate FAQs: wildcards, warranties and reissues

Something else? Email sales@virtualcloud.in or talk to sales.

Usually not. Free AutoSSL encrypts traffic exactly as well as a paid certificate. Buy one when you want your organisation's name verified (OV or EV), a wildcard or multi-domain certificate for a server outside our hosting, or the warranty that comes with a CA-issued certificate.

A certificate for *.yourdomain.in covers yourdomain.in and every first-level subdomain — shop.yourdomain.in, blog.yourdomain.in and so on. It does not cover a second level such as eu.shop.yourdomain.in, or a different domain.

Yes. Reissues are free for as long as your subscription runs — when you move servers, change the key type, lose the private key, or when the certificate reaches its maximum lifetime and has to be replaced.

A warranty is the issuing authority's promise to compensate relying parties if it issues a certificate wrongly. Amounts and conditions are set by the authority, not by us, and are shown at checkout before you pay.

Under CA/Browser Forum Ballot SC-081, public certificates can last at most 200 days from 15 March 2026, 100 days from March 2027 and 47 days from March 2029. A 2- or 3-year plan is a subscription: one payment covers every certificate we issue for you during the term, including re-validation. See certificate lifetimes.

Yes. You receive the certificate and the CA bundle, with installation steps for cPanel, Plesk, Apache, Nginx and IIS. Installation is free and done for you only on VirtualCloud hosting; elsewhere, our support team can still guide you.

For OV, proof that your organisation legally exists at its address — for an Indian company typically the certificate of incorporation or GST registration — plus a phone number the authority can verify, and control of the domain. EV adds checks that the business is operational and that the person ordering is authorised, plus a signed request. We tell you exactly what is needed after you order.

SSL certificates are not covered by the money-back guarantee and are non-refundable once issued, because the authority's fee cannot be recovered. Details are in the refund and cancellation policy.
