Secure more with SSL for resellers

You can order your certificate through the Openprovider control panel in just a few clicks. After you purchase your SSL certificate, it will first need to be validated by the Certificate Authority (CA) that issues it. 
The validation process for DV, OV, and EV certificates is slightly different. OV certificates require stronger validation than DV ones, and EV certificates require the most. You can read more about the validation process in the Knowledge Base (for EV certificates).
After your certificate is validated, you will need to install it on your server before it will be valid. You can find tutorials on how to do this in the Knowledge Base. After your SSL certificate is installed, it will immediately be effective.

Free SSL certificates offer a basic level of security, but there is no strong validation process involved with their issuance. Domains that use free SSL certificates have not verified their personal and business identities and could therefore be run by malicious third parties. Paid certificates by Sectigo involve an extensive validation process, plus an SLA of 99.99% uptime, support, and warranties against miss-issuance, providing higher trust and security to your customers.
Moreover, free SSL certificates are only valid for 90 days at a time. It requires extra administrative work to reorder these certificates time and time again. Paid certificates can be issued for multiple years in advance, taking a lot of work out of the domain owner's hands.

Prices differ between DV, OV and EV certificates and between single domain, multi-domain and wildcard certificates. Prices for a simple DV certificate for a single domain start at $4.76 per year for Openprovider Members. You can find the other prices in the control panel, or contact our sales team for the full price list.

This article covers all of the basics. The Openprovider Knowledge Base also contains an extensive list of articles on SSL certificates: from tutorial videos on ordering your certificate to information about the validation process and technical troubleshooting.
