While our free SSL certificates should be sufficient for most customers, traditional SSL certificates are still available for purchase.

Traditional SSL certificates are valid for 1 year instead of 90 days, are manually installed and renewed, and are verified by email instead of website connectivity.

Some customers may find traditional, paid SSL certificates to be more reliable as they are professionally installed and verified by Varial Hosting staff.

A variety of certificate types are available for purchase, from domain-validated certificates, organization-validated certificates and extended-validated (green bar) certificates.

Traditional SSL certificates protect both domain.com and www.domain.com or a single sub-domain. Wildcard certificates are also available and protect *.domain.com.

If you would like to purchase a traditional SSL certificate please contact sales@varialhosting.com to place an order.
