How SSL Certificates Are Classified
Two independent axes classify every certificate: validation level (how hard the CA checked you) and coverage (what the certificate protects).
- By validation — DV (Domain Validated: control of the domain, minutes to issue), OV (Organisation Validated: the business verified too), EV (Extended Validation: the fullest vetting).
- By coverage — single-domain (one hostname plus www), wildcard (one domain plus all subdomains), multi-domain (many names on one certificate).
Encryption strength is identical across all of them — the differences are vetting depth and coverage. The use-case table and the INR cost table below finish the decision; the SSL certificate hub lists the live catalogue.
Validation Levels: DV vs OV vs EV
How this plays out with DV certificate: settings that look cosmetic usually decide page speed and uptime under real traffic. The defaults WebJi® ships are tuned for Indian network conditions, and support can review your setup on request.
Coverage Types: Single, Wildcard and Multi-Domain
How this plays out with OV certificate: settings that look cosmetic usually decide page speed and uptime under real traffic. The defaults WebJi® ships are tuned for Indian network conditions, and support can review your setup on request.
Comparison Table With Use Cases
Two practical notes on EV certificate: it interacts directly with caching and database response, and misconfiguration is the most common cause of 'hosting is slow' tickets. WebJi® support checks it as part of standard migrations.
SSL Certificate Cost in India
Live INR pricing from the certificate catalogue:
| Certificate | Covers | Price (₹/yr) |
|---|---|---|
| Sectigo Positive SSL (DV) | www + non-www of one domain | 1,800 |
| Sectigo Positive SSL Wildcard | 1 domain + all sub-domains | 7,500 |
| Sectigo Code Signing SSL | Software signing | 7,200 |
Free Let's Encrypt certificates (via AutoSSL) remain the right answer for standard sites — encryption is identical, and renewals are automatic. Paid certificates earn their keep on wildcard coverage, organisation vetting and code-signing use cases, where free options do not reach.
Free SSL vs Paid: The Real Differences
On multi-domain SAN, the honest summary is that defaults matter more than brand names — a well-set budget plan outranks a mis-tuned premium one. WebJi® documents its defaults openly and adjusts them per ticket when workloads need it.
How to Choose Your Certificate in 60 Seconds
The 60-second chooser: one domain, any normal site — free AutoSSL or Let's Encrypt, full stop. Many subdomains (shop, blog, app under one brand) — Sectigo Positive Wildcard at ₹7,500/year. Multiple separate domains on one certificate — a multi-domain certificate from the catalogue. Software you distribute — code signing at ₹7,200/year. Anything needing the organisation name visibly vetted — OV or EV tiers. Everything else is marketing. Buy once from the SSL certificate catalogue, or grab the wildcard from the wildcard SSL page, and let AutoSSL handle renewals so the decision never needs repeating.
