Validity: since 15 March 2026 a publicly trusted TLS certificate is valid for at most 200 days (100 days from 15 March 2027, 47 days from 15 March 2029). A "1-year" or "multi-year" purchase is a subscription: the certificate is reissued several times during the term. See the validity timeline.

Prices are 1-year subscription prices in US dollars before tax, as shown on each seller's site on the verified date. Prices change often; the seller's checkout is authoritative. Sorted by lowest verified 1-year price. Commissions never change the order or which sellers are shown.

Per-year prices for longer subscriptions, as listed on the same page. Longer terms are prepaid; the certificate itself is still reissued at least every 200 days.

Who it's for

Buyers who prefer to deal with the CA directly rather than a reseller.

DV, OV or EV?

All three levels use the same encryption and show the same padlock. They differ in what the CA checks before issuing: DV checks domain control only, OV also checks your organization, and EV adds stricter checks defined by the CA/Browser Forum EV Guidelines. Read DV vs OV vs EV for details.
