SSL questions, plain answers.
Do I have to install anything?+
No. On every Host Tonic hosting plan, SSL is provisioned automatically as soon as your domain points to us. Renewal is automatic too — you never need to touch it.
What's the difference between DV, OV and EV?+
DV (Domain Validation) proves you control the domain — perfect for blogs, apps and most business sites. OV (Organisation Validation) verifies your legal entity. EV (Extended Validation) is the strictest, ideal for banks, healthcare and regulated industries.
Can I use my own certificate?+
Yes. VPS and Cloud plans support any third-party cert (Sectigo, DigiCert, GlobalSign, Let's Encrypt, etc.). You can upload custom certs from the control panel or via API.
What is a Wildcard SSL?+
One certificate that secures every subdomain of a single domain — like www, shop, api, blog. Ideal for SaaS products and multi-tenant apps.
Are these certificates browser-trusted?+
Yes. Every certificate we issue chains to a root trusted by all major browsers, mobile devices, email clients and libraries. No visitor sees warnings.
Launch encrypted from day one.
Every Host Tonic hosting plan ships with free auto-renewing SSL — no setup, no upsell, no expiring padlocks.
