The best-priced option among Thawte products for each need. Prices are per year and taken from current product data.
DATASSL sells 5 Thawte products: 2 DV, 2 OV, 1 EV. The lowest yearly price is $57.98 (excl. VAT).
With Thawte DV products you only prove that you control the domain. No documents are needed and the certificate is usually issued within minutes.
Thawte OV products also check that your organization exists, and its name appears in the certificate details. This usually takes 1–3 business days.
Thawte EV products go through the most thorough organization review, which usually takes 1–5 business days. Current browsers show no separate green bar; the organization name appears in the certificate details.
A Wildcard covers all first-level subdomains of a domain (*.example.com). A multi-domain (SAN) certificate puts several different domains on one certificate.
The steps for a Thawte order, from purchase to installation. You complete all of them in your customer panel.
Thawte SSL 123, at $57.98 a year, is the lowest-priced option from this brand. Pick the product and term that fit your needs and place the order; after payment, the certificate is ready in your panel.
Generate the CSR on your server, paste it into the panel, then choose email, DNS or file validation. Your private key stays on your server. For Wildcard products, the CSR common name takes the form *.example.com. For multi-domain products, you also list the additional domains.
Validate the domain with the method you chose. For Thawte OV/EV products, the certificate authority also reviews your organization details.
Once the certificate is issued, download it from the panel and install it on your server. Free reissues before expiry are done in the same place.
Yearly prices for Thawte certificates range from $57.98 to $459.98 (excl. VAT). The price depends on the validation type, Wildcard or multi-domain coverage and the chosen term.
Our Thawte products include domain-validated (DV), organization-validated (OV) and extended-validation (EV) certificates. For personal sites, blogs and small projects, DV, which only verifies domain ownership, is sufficient; 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.
DV certificates are usually issued within minutes after domain validation is completed. For OV certificates, the process usually takes 1–3 business days because organization details are also verified. EV 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.
