Managing SSL certificates used to be a tedious, technical process, involving generating keys, validating domains, installing files, and keeping track of renewal dates. AutoSSL changes all of that.

What is AutoSSL?
Domains.co.za offers a smart, automated system that handles every part of SSL certificate management for you. It issues and renews certificates automatically, ensuring your website always stays secure without you having to lift a finger. There’s no manual setup, no configuration steps, and no risk of your SSL expiring unexpectedly and causing browser warnings.
AutoSSL issues Domain Validated (DV) certificates, which provide strong encryption and confirm that you own the domain. For most websites, including blogs, personal sites, small business websites, portfolios, and standard online stores, DV certificates offer more than enough protection.

How is it Different from Regular SSL
Traditional or “regular” SSL certificates, such as Organisation Validated (OV) and Extended Validation (EV) certificates, involve a more detailed verification process. These require manual setup and are typically used by larger companies, financial institutions, or high-profile ecommerce stores that require an additional level of identity validation.

For most businesses, AutoSSL strikes the perfect balance: it’s simple, secure, reliable, and completely hands-off. It ensures that every website hosted with Domains.co.za has updated protection and a professional HTTPS at all times.
