SSL Certificates

Secure Your Website with Free or Premium SSL

An SSL certificate encrypts the connection between your visitors' browsers and your web server, protecting sensitive data like login credentials, contact form submissions, and payment information from interception. Modern browsers flag sites without SSL as "Not Secure" in the address bar, and Google uses HTTPS as a ranking signal. Every website should have SSL, regardless of whether it handles payments.

SSL Certificate for Secure Hosting

Free SSL with Every Hosting Plan

Every Ultra Web Hosting plan includes a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate that is automatically issued and renewed for every domain on your account. Let's Encrypt provides the same level of encryption (256-bit) as paid certificates and is trusted by all modern browsers. For most websites, blogs, portfolios, and small business sites, the free SSL is all you need.

If your site requires organization validation (OV), extended validation (EV) with the green address bar, or a site seal from a recognized certificate authority, we offer premium SSL certificates from Sectigo (formerly Comodo) and RapidSSL at competitive pricing with free installation.

Which SSL Do You Need?

Free Let's Encrypt SSL (Included with Hosting)

Best for blogs, portfolios, small business sites, and any website that needs HTTPS but does not require organization validation or a site seal. Automatically issued and renewed. This is what most websites use and it provides the same encryption strength as paid certificates.

RapidSSL ($39.95/year)

A domain-validated certificate from a well-known certificate authority. Choose this if you need a certificate from a specific CA for compliance reasons, or if a third-party integration requires a non-Let's Encrypt certificate. Issued within minutes.

InstantSSL / InstantSSL Pro ($49.95-$69.95/year)

Organization-validated certificates that verify your business identity. These display your organization name in the certificate details and include a Sectigo trust seal you can add to your website. Choose InstantSSL Pro if you also need subdomain coverage.

EV SSL ($179.95/year)

Extended validation provides the highest level of trust verification. The certificate authority verifies your legal business identity, physical address, and operational status. Recommended for ecommerce sites, financial services, and organizations where visitor trust is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I get free SSL with my hosting plan?

Yes. Every hosting plan includes a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate that is automatically issued and renewed for every domain on your account. No setup required.

What is the difference between free SSL and paid SSL?

The encryption strength is identical. The difference is in the validation level and trust indicators. Free Let's Encrypt certificates are domain-validated (DV) only. Paid certificates can include organization validation (OV) or extended validation (EV), which verify your business identity and can display your company name in the certificate.

Do you install the SSL certificate for me?

Yes. Free Let's Encrypt certificates are installed automatically. Premium SSL certificates purchased through us include free installation by our team. We handle the CSR generation, certificate installation, and HTTPS configuration.

Will SSL slow down my website?

No. Modern SSL/TLS has negligible performance impact. Our servers support HTTP/2, which actually requires HTTPS and delivers better performance than unencrypted HTTP/1.1 connections through multiplexing and header compression.

Can I use SSL with Cloudflare?

Yes. Our free Cloudflare integration works with both free and paid SSL certificates. Cloudflare provides an additional layer of SSL between visitors and their edge servers, while our server SSL handles the connection between Cloudflare and your hosting account.
