OV Multi-Domain EV Multi-Domain OV Multi-Domain OV Code Signing EV Code Signing EV Multi-Domain OV Multi-Domain OV Wildcard EV Multi-Domain OV Multi-Domain EV Multi-Domain OV Multi-Domain OV WildcardDigiCert is a certificate authority (CA) founded in 2003 and headquartered in the US state of Utah.
It took over Symantec's website security and PKI business in 2017; as a result, the GeoTrust, Thawte and RapidSSL brands also came under DigiCert.
DigiCert-branded certificates are built on organization (OV) and extended (EV) validation. If domain validation (DV) alone is enough, the RapidSSL and GeoTrust brands of the same group are more economical options.

The best-priced option among DigiCert products for each need. Prices are per year and taken from current product data.
The encryption strength is the same for all three types; the difference lies in what the certificate authority verifies about you.
Only verifies that the domain is under your control.
In addition to the domain, the existence of your organization is verified; the organization name appears in the certificate details.
The most comprehensive organization validation. Current browsers no longer show a separate green bar in the address bar; the organization name appears in the certificate details.
A Wildcard covers all first-level subdomains of a domain (*.example.com). Multi-domain (SAN) certificates combine several different domains in a single certificate.
You carry out every step from order to installation in your customer panel.
Select the certificate and the term and create the order; after payment, the certificate is ready for configuration in your panel.
Generate the CSR on your server and paste it into the panel, then select the validation method (e-mail, DNS or file). Your private key stays on your server.
Validate the domain with the method you selected. For OV and EV products, the certificate authority also verifies your organization details.
When the certificate is issued, you download it from the panel and install it on your server. Free reissue before the term expires is also done from the same place.
Annual prices for DigiCert certificates range from $266.09 to $4,084.43 (excluding VAT). The price varies depending on the validation type, Wildcard or multi-domain coverage, and the selected term.
Our DigiCert products include organization-validated (OV) and extended-validation (EV) certificates. If you want your organization's name to appear in the certificate, choose OV; if the most comprehensive organization validation is required, EV is preferred. To protect all subdomains with a single certificate, look at Wildcard; for multiple domains, look at multi-domain (SAN) products.
For OV certificates the process usually takes 1–3 business days because organization details are verified too. For EV certificates validation is more comprehensive and usually takes 1–5 business days. The time depends on how quickly the validation steps are completed.
Under CA/Browser Forum rules, newly issued SSL certificates are valid for a maximum of 200 days. If you buy a term of one year or longer, you can reissue your certificate free of charge from your panel before it expires and install it on your server.
Domain ownership is validated by one of three methods: a confirmation link sent to the administrative e-mail address of your domain, a record added to DNS, or a validation file uploaded to the server. You choose the method yourself from your panel after the order.
