Affiliate disclosure

Last verified

ssl.sh is free to use. Some links on this site are affiliate links: if you click one and buy something, the seller may pay us a commission. You pay the same price as you would by going to the seller directly.

How we make money

Commissions from certificate sellers and hosting providers help pay for the free tools, data and guides on this site. Links that can earn a commission go through a short redirect at /go/<seller>/ and are marked rel="sponsored". Pages that contain them show a note at the bottom.

What commissions do not change

  • Rankings. Certificate tables are sorted by the lowest verified price, then by name. A seller's commission never moves a product up or down.
  • Which sellers we show. We list every seller whose price we could verify, including sellers that pay us nothing.
  • Prices. We copy each price from the seller's own website and record the date and page we checked. If we cannot verify a price, we show "check latest price" instead of guessing.
  • Recommendations. Guides recommend free certificates whenever they are enough, even though we earn nothing from them.

We do not accept payment for reviews, and we do not publish invented ratings or test results.

Independence

ssl.sh is not affiliated with, endorsed by or partnered with any certificate authority, and we do not use CA logos. Brand names are used only to identify products.
