Our New SSL Module is Live!

We are very excited about our new SSL module, which our developer has put a lot of time into to make it function perfectly, make the flow run smoothly and simplify management.

About the Different Types of SSL

Single domain: Suitable for a single (sub)domain name. For example: janjansen.nl or winkel.janjansen.nl (www is always included)
Multi domain: For securing multiple websites with one certificate. For example: winkel.janjansen.nl and winkel.vansinkel.nl
Wildcard domain: Secures all subdomains of one domain name. For example: winkel.janjansen.nl, server01.janjansen.nl and mijn.janjansen.nl

Choose What Suits You

Before you order your SSL certificate, it is important to understand which validation methods are available:

Domain validation

The fastest and most efficient option. This certificate performs a check to confirm that the domain name is active, allowing it to be activated quickly. Perfect for personal websites, blogs and simple business websites.

Organization Validation

This certificate contains company information and offers an extra layer of trust. Although the company details are included in the certificate, they are not directly visible to website visitors.

Extended Validation

Our most thorough check that meets the strictest safety guidelines. This type verifies data such as WHOIS, Chamber of Commerce data, EV documents and even performs a telephone verification. Specially developed for webshops, banks and commercial websites that require the highest level of trust.

Multi-domain Extended Validation

The combination of extended validation with the ability to secure multiple domains with one certificate.

Wildcard SSL

An essential option for extensive sites – this certificate is valid for all subdomains of a domain name.

The New Module

Order SSL

Ordering an SSL certificate has never been easier. You can easily order a new SSL certificate via the new module. You can find the exact steps of the process in our knowledge base.

Renew SSL

The SSL certificates are automatically renewed by us. As soon as the renewal has been requested, you will receive a message by e-mail from Hosting.NL with the request to validate your domain name.

Validate SSL – Three Simple Methods

An SSL certificate must be validated by the domain name holder. This validation process is necessary to validate the person behind the domain name and to check whether they actually have control over the domain name. This creates trust for website visitors.

1. CNAME validation via DNS (recommended)
   The most reliable method where a CNAME record is added to your DNS settings.
2. E-mail validation
   Validation via a confirmation email that is sent to predefined email addresses of your domain.
3. File validation
   The validation can be completed by uploading a specific file to your website.

Manage SSL

Via the new module, all information relating to your certificate is shown directly in one overview. You no longer have to click around in the different sections and you can easily manage your SSL certificate. You will see directly:

• The SSL status of your certificate
• The DNS record to be validated or e-mail address to which the validation was sent
• The CSR (Certificate Signing Request) information
• Validation actions and their status
• Download options for certificate files

Why SSL is Essential

An SSL certificate is no longer optional but has become essential. With the introduction of AVG/GDPR and Google’s decision to mark websites without SSL as unsafe, you not only protect your visitors but also improve your SEO ranking.
