SSL Certificates
DV, OV & EV — From ₹1,433/yr
Every IAMEM Hosting plan already includes free Let's Encrypt SSL for standard domain validation. For businesses that need verified organization identity, extended validation, a provider-backed warranty, or wildcard subdomain coverage, we offer premium SSL certificates from RapidSSL, GeoTrust, and DigiCert.
DV, OV, or EV — Which Do You Need?
All three levels encrypt your traffic identically. What differs is how much the certificate authority verifies about you before issuing it.
Domain Validated (DV)
Confirms you control the domain — nothing more. Issued in minutes with no paperwork. Good for blogs, personal sites, and internal tools.
Organization Validated (OV)
Confirms your registered business identity in addition to domain control. Shows visitors you're a verified, real company behind the site.
Extended Validation (EV)
The most thorough vetting available — confirms your legal, physical, and operational existence as a business. Common for banking, finance, and high-trust e-commerce.

Do You Actually Need a Paid Certificate?
Free Let's Encrypt SSL — included on every IAMEM Hosting plan — encrypts your traffic exactly the same way a paid certificate does. It's genuinely enough for most websites. Premium SSL exists for a narrower set of needs:
- Verified business identity — OV and EV prove your registered organization, not just domain control.
- Provider-backed warranty — select certificates carry a warranty up to $500,000, which free certificates don't include.
- Wildcard coverage — secure unlimited subdomains under a single certificate.
- Compliance requirements — some industries and auditors specifically require OV or EV certificates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need this if my hosting already has free SSL?
Usually not. Free Let's Encrypt SSL encrypts your site the same way a paid certificate does. Consider a paid certificate only if you need verified business identity (OV/EV), a warranty, wildcard coverage, or a specific compliance requirement.
What's the real difference between DV, OV, and EV?
All three encrypt traffic identically. They differ in how much the certificate authority verifies before issuing: DV checks domain control only, OV also verifies your registered business, and EV adds the most thorough legal and operational checks.
How long does issuance take?
DV certificates typically issue within minutes. OV and EV certificates take longer — usually a few business days — because the certificate authority manually verifies your business.
Can I get a wildcard certificate?
Yes — RapidSSL Wildcard and GeoTrust QuickSSL Premium Wildcard both cover your domain plus unlimited subdomains under one certificate.
Is there a warranty?
Select certificates carry a provider-backed warranty of up to $500,000 — see the Warranty column in the pricing table above for which ones.
Will you help me install it?
Yes. Once you've purchased a certificate, our support team can help install it on cPanel, Plesk, or any server we host for you.
