Domain Validated SSL Certificates for Single Domains
What is a Domain Validated SSL?
We offer options to secure single domains with a domain validated SSL certificate. A Domain Validated SSL certificate only verifies that you are in control of the domain at the time of purchase.
HostGator is pleased to offer you two SSL Certificates options, which will protect your website with 2048-bit signatures and up to 256-bit encryption.
The Positive SSL and Sectigo SSL Certificates are designed to cover a single domain (like example.com) or subdomain (like secure.example.com):
| Positive SSL | Sectigo SSL | |

Here are the Domain Validated SSL Certificates for single domains that we offer:
Positive SSL Certificate
The Positive SSL certificate is our most affordable option but offers strong protection for your information and includes Sectigo's $10,000 limited warranty. You can purchase the Positive SSL within your Customer Portal's SSL Certificates section.
Customers with a Business or Enterprise hosting plan may request a Positive SSL Certificate at no additional charge by filling out the SSL Order Form within the Customer Portal.
Sectigo SSL Certificate
The Sectigo SSL certificate also protects your data with the same security as the Positive SSL. However, each Sectigo SSL comes with a $250,000 limited warranty against unauthorized transactions to give your visitors that extra measure of reassurance.
The Sectigo SSL certificate is only $99.99 a year. Just go to our easy form to purchase your Sectigo SSL today. Please refer to the Sectigo SSL Order Form article for guidance.
Free Positive SSL Certificate
All Linux Business Hosting and Windows Enterprise hosting include a Positive SSL Certificate provided by Sectigo, which is free when requested yearly.
Upgrade
If you have a Linux Hatchling or Baby, or Windows Personal Plan, you may upgrade your hosting plan through your Customer Portal to take advantage of the Free Positive SSL Certificate.
