In the afternoon, I saw a client company talking about the business of enterprise websites, and unexpectedly asked a professional question, such as which organization issued the SSL certificate they need to install on their website. This is the first time I have encountered this problem, so my business colleague came to ask us about SSL for our customers Certification Authority Which is it. To be honest, I don't really see which organization it is. We either use the free certificate directly. If the customer really pays for the certificate, he or she should choose a certificate of about 100 yuan from the platform. If he or she really needs a high-end commercial website, he or she needs a more expensive certificate.
This is not busy now, just write an article to finish off work. On the issue of SSL certificate authorities, we currently see that the general SSL certificate authorities are DigiCert, Symantec, Comodo, Geotrust, RapidSSL, Entrust, CFCA, TrustAsia, etc. However, Symantec, Geotrust and RapidSSL have also been acquired by DigiCert.
When selecting an SSL certificate, we must first select an authenticated SSL certificate authority, otherwise we will not be compatible when installing it in the browser. At present, however, most certificates are issued through certification authorities. What should we pay attention to when selecting SSL certificates.
1. Choose domestic or foreign certificates
Most SSL certificate authorities are foreign. And we see that foreign certificates are still cheap, but the only disadvantage is that some businesses may be in English, so you need to see English documents when you choose to purchase and install them. But there is no problem if you are familiar with it. If we are familiar with it and want to save money, we can choose foreign ones. If you need to invoice the latter is the company's process, you can buy the SSL certificate of a domestic service provider a little more expensive.
2. Choose free or paid
If we are a personal website or an ordinary corporate website. Just need a green lock SSL sign in front of the website, then you can use it for free. For example, Tencent Cloud, Alibaba Cloud and other service providers provide free SSL certificates for one year. Or some free certificates provided can be directly installed on the platform or WEB environment.
If we are an enterprise project and standardize our business. If our personal website needs to be a little formal, then spend some money to buy a certificate. Ordinary ones are also OK, and expensive ones have their own reasons. Later, Lao Zuo will introduce why some certificates are expensive.
Finally, there is nothing special to say about SSL certificates. We will install according to the document after issuing the certificate.
