SSL Certificates are small data files that digitally bind a cryptographic key to a website. When installed on a web server, it activates the padlock and the https protocol and allows secure connections from a web server to a browser.
There are a couple of types of SSL certificates. Those are:
- Single Domain – can only secure one domain;
- Multi Domain – can secure multiple domains and it’s a bit more technical;
- Wildcard – can secure virtually all subdomains of a given domain.
