AlphaSSL Certificates are recognized by all popular browsers and mobile devices. Our Certificates are issued from the 2048 bit GlobalSign Root Certificate - one of the longest operating and most trusted Authorities in the world.

To show your customers you are trusted, as well as activating the browser padlock you get a free clickable Secure Site Seal. All Certificates also come with a warranty against mis-issuance.

We do all we can to earn and keep your business. Every customer has a risk free refund policy and we will not charge until a Certificate is actually issued, so it's unlikely you'll ever need a refund anyway!
We are a security company, not a reseller. That means we have inhouse SSL experts that will benefit customers of all sizes - from websites setting up ecommerce for the first time through to complex network configurations - we have a very skilled tech support team ready and waiting to help.
SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, also referred to as TLS (Transport Layer Security).
SSL activates the padlock on web browsers - indicating to a visitor that the connection to the website is secure.
You'll see two techie terms being used in the SSL industry - Root Strength and Encryption Strength. Root Strength is the strength of the cryptographic keys used to the issue your Certificate, and Encryption Strength is the strength of the encrypted link between the browser and the server. In both cases AlphaSSL is as good as it gets - 2048 bit root strength and 256 bit encryption strength. You won't find stronger security at this price anywhere else!
AlphaSSL has fully automated the Certificate application and issuance process. Just follow the order instructions to the right, and the whole process should only take a few minutes. No paperwork is needed and you can get a fully trusted SSL Certificate for your site quickly and easily without the hassle or the high prices.
