For proper SSL functionality it is recommended to have a separate dedicated IP for each certificate. However, nowadays it is possible to install multiple SSL certificates using a shared IP address thanks to the SNI (Server Name Indication) technology. A mandatory use of a dedicated IP is determined by the type of the hosting server.

It would depend on the type of validation. Domain validation would take some hours, organization validation will take around 3 to 5 working days while Extended validation would take as long as 7 working days to complete.

First, determine your validation type. SSL Certificated is categorized into 3 different types of validation.

• Domain Validation
  Validation will be done on the verified owner of the domain name. Validation is done via email sent to the domain owner. Domain validated SSL certificates can be issued very quickly, often in minutes.

• Organization Validation
  When corporate identity validation is important, an SSL Certificate for the organization assures customers that the website is trustworthy and secure. Only verified representatives of the organization may purchase these certificates and business licenses or other proof is required. The Certificate Authority will verify through phone call to ensure that the certificate request is legitimate.

• Extended Validation
  With Extended Validation, as well as displaying the certificate seal, the address bar is displayed in green, providing customers with an extra level of confidence. The green address bar is a strong visual indication that the site has an Extended Validation Certificate. The Security Status bar displays the organization name and the name of the Certificate Authority (CA).

  In order to be approved for an Extended Validation certificate, the certificate authority will actively check the Organization and the individual applying for the certificate. This is to verify that the Organization is positively the Organization they claim to be, and the individual requesting the certificate is someone who is authorized to request a digital certificate. Extended Validation may take as long as one week to complete.

Second, choose the brand with the certificates that nearest to your requirement.

A SSL Web Server Wildcard Certificate is a single certificate, with a wildcard character in the domain name field. This allows the certificate to secure multiple sub domain names (hosts) within the same domain. For example, a wildcard certificate for *.domain.com, could be used for www.domain.com.

The SSL (secure socket layer) protocol is the web standard for encrypting communications between users and web sites.

Data sent via an SSL connection is protected by encryption, a mechanism that prevents eavesdropping and tampering with any transmitted data.

SSL provides businesses and consumers with the confidence that private data sent to a web site, such as credit card numbers, are kept confidential.

WHY SSL?

If you are running e-commerce transaction or you have a web site that request for customers private & confidential information, it is strongly recommended that you installed SSL to your site.

In other words, to be a responsible web site owner, you shall have a SSL certificate in order to protect your customers info to be tapped or stolen via Internet.

In order to implement the SSL Cert, below are the requirements:

1. Your website has to be online for at least 24hours without broken link(s) and construction page(s)
2. SSL issuer will verify whether you are qualified for the SSL Cert (e.g: ensure that the content hosted in your site is genuine).
3. You need to have a dedicated IP for installation of SSL. (Dedicated IP is RM100/yr per IP if your site is hosted by us)

As to know which SSL to be chosen, you will need to determine:

1. The encryption level required. (e.g: 128 bits, 256 bits and etc)
2. Whether you need to install to the entire domain or only a single subdomain.

A private key is generated on your server when you generate your CSR. On Windows servers the private key is contained in the ‘Pending Request’. As the name implies, the private key is indeed private and therefore should never be publicly available. You must use the exact same private key with your certificate when you install the certificate files we issue to you. If the private key is deleted or lost then the certificate will not work. Therefore, make sure to keep your private key in a safe place. If you are using a Windows server, make sure not to delete your ‘Pending Request’.

You may renew your SSL Certificate up to 90 days early to avoid lapsed certificates. GeoTrust will add the remaining time on your current certificate (up to 90 days) onto your new certificate’s validity period.
