SSL Certificate Authentication Products:
SSL Certificates from DigiCert are designed to meet whatever needs you may have. Regardless of server type, number of servers, or number of domains you need secured, one of the ssl certificates listed below is right for you. If you're not sure what ssl certificate you need from the descriptions, please call or email us and let us help you decide. Of course, all of our SSL certificates come with many standard features.
What is SSL and why do I need it?
- WildCard SSL ("WildCard Plus"): Secure all servers and subdomains on a given domain
- Single Certificate ("SSL Plus"): Secure a single server with a single name
- Unified Communications Certificate ("UC Certificate" or "SAN Certificate"): Secure up to 150 server names – perfect for Exchange Server
- Extended Validation Certificate ("EV Plus"): Activate the green bar in newer browsers
"WildCard Plus" Certificate
| Verisign | Thawte | Geotrust | DigiCert | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| N/A | $771 | $995 | $495 |  |
DigiCert's WildCard Plus ssl certificates secure an entire domain -- a certificate for *.example.com will secure www.example.com, mail.example.com, and any other subdomain of example.com you can think of. We even use SANs to let your wildcard ssl certificate secure the base domain: example.com. And every DigiCert WildCard SSL Certificate comes with an Unlimited Server License, so you only pay once, whether you have one server or one hundred.

"SSL Plus" Certificate
| Verisign | Thawte | Geotrust | DigiCert | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $399 | $249 | $399 | $144 | |
Single-name SSL certificates from DigiCert have all the features you would expect (256-bit strong encryption, browser trust) and a few things you might not get from other companies' basic certificates (30-day satisfaction guarantee, great customer support, unlimited free reissues, professional site seal). One thing that DigiCert was the first company to do -- and as far as we know, we're still the only one who does it -- is using Subject Alternative Names (SANs) to make your single ssl certificate for example.com also secure www.example.com (and vice versa). That's why we call it SSL Plus. Learn more about DigiCert's Single-Name Certificates.
"Unified Communications (SAN)" Certificate
| Verisign | Thawte | Geotrust | DigiCert | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| N/A | N/A | N/A | $328 / 4 names | |
Unified Communications Certificates (sometimes known as UC or SAN Certificates) use Subject Alternative Names to let you secure up to 150 server names with one certificate. These ssl certificates are perfect for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and Office Communications Server, and they've also proven useful for users of other platforms who need to secure multiple names across different domains. Plus every DigiCert UC Certificate comes with an Unlimited Server License! Learn more about DigiCert's UC Certificates for total network security.
"Extended Validation (EV) Plus" Certificate
| Verisign | Thawte | Geotrust | DigiCert | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $995 | $599 | $899 | $488 | |
The highest level of authentication makes Extended Validation SSL Certificates the ultimate in building trust through your website. DigiCert's EV Plus certificates use Subject Alternative Names to secure both www.example.com and example.com in one ssl certificate. That means your customers get the green bar in EV-enabled browsers with or without the "www." Learn more about DigiCert's EV Certificates.
