About RapidSSL

RapidSSL is known for offering affordable and simple certificates for single domain names with fast domain validation via email, DNS, or URL.

Today, RapidSSL certificates are issued by DigiCert, one of the world's largest CAs, since they acquired Symantec.

This certificate supports our free Auto DNS service, which can automate validation with a single DNS CNAME record.

By default, the certificate uses older, compatible root certificates, ensuring compatibility with both new and older clients that don't automatically update their root certificates, such as Java and Android.

We recommend ordering with "www." at the beginning of the DNS name. This will automatically include both the name with and without "www.".

Reissue schedule

Certificates must be reissued before they expire within the order period. The timeline shows when each reissue is needed.
