RapidSSL Single-Domain Certificate

The RapidSSL single-domain certificate is the entry-level Domain Validated SSL solution securing one fully qualified domain name including both www and non-www versions, with industry-standard 256-bit encryption and 2048-bit CSR using SHA-2 algorithm. Domain Control Validation completes through email response, DNS TXT record, or HTTP file upload, typically issued in 10 minutes to 1 hour. RapidSSL is ideal for personal sites, blogs, login pages, and low-volume entry-level sites.

RapidSSL Wildcard Certificate

RapidSSL Wildcard certificate secures one main domain plus an unlimited number of subdomains under that domain using a single certificate issued to *.yourdomain.com, eliminating the need to purchase separate SSL certificates for mail.example.com, admin.example.com, blog.example.com, or any other subdomain configurations. Wildcard certificates require DNS-based validation since HTTP file upload cannot prove ownership of wildcard domains. The wildcard cert includes free unlimited server licenses.

Domain Validation Process

Domain Control Validation is the fastest SSL validation tier, requiring only proof that you control the domain through one of three methods: responding to a verification email sent to standard admin addresses, adding a TXT or CNAME record to your DNS, or uploading a verification file to a specific path on your web server. DV does not require business documentation, organization verification, or extended legal vetting, which is why DV certificates issue in minutes rather than days for OV and EV.

Encryption & Browser Compatibility

RapidSSL certificates deliver industry-standard 256-bit encryption with 2048-bit Certificate Signing Requests using SHA-2 hashing algorithm, providing modern strong encryption recognized by 99-plus percent of browsers including current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Opera, plus mobile browsers on Android and iOS devices. The single root certificate hierarchy and trusted DigiCert backing ensure visitors do not see security warnings or mixed content errors.

Warranty & Site Seal

Every RapidSSL certificate includes a $10,000 warranty protecting end-users against losses caused by mis-issuance, fraudulent issuance to bad actors, or technical flaws in the certificate that result in security breaches affecting site visitors. The certificate also includes a downloadable Secured by RapidSSL static site seal that webmasters embed on pages to communicate active SSL protection and build visitor trust at checkout, login, or contact form submission points throughout the site.
