SSL (Secure Socket Layer) ensures a secure connection between the user's computer and the server to which data is being sent. Such a secure connection is recognizable by the "https" in the address bar and the padlock next to the URL.
By using SSL, personal information such as passwords and payment details are encrypted. Hackers cannot intercept or manipulate this data.
You can order an SSL certificate via our SSL product page. First, choose the validation type, then the number of domains you want to secure, and finally complete the order.
Need extra advice on choosing the right SSL certificate? You can call us on our toll-free number, contact us via live chat, or send an email. In the latter case, you can provide some details, such as:
For which domain?
What type of certificate?
How long do you want the certificate to be valid? (1-5 years)
Once we receive your email, we will process your request within 24 hours. When the certificate has been requested and validated, we will send it to you along with the corresponding files or install it for you if we have access to your hosting.
If your hosting is with Nomeo, we will gladly install the certificate for you!
If your website is not hosted with us, we do not have access and therefore cannot install the certificate. If you're unable to install your SSL certificate in that case, you can still contact us, and we'll do our best to guide you on how to install your certificate correctly.
Yes. If your domain name and corresponding hosting are registered with us, we will install a free Let's Encrypt certificate for you. This secures both your domain name and the www version of it.
You do not need to explicitly request this certificate. When your hosting package is created, a Let's Encrypt certificate will automatically be requested. Your website will be secured the same day!
Let's Encrypt is a certificate authority that issues free SSL certificates. The company is supported by several large internet companies, such as Google, Facebook, and Cisco.
SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt are issued through an automated process, making their installation on a domain name particularly simple.
All Nomeo customers can activate a Let's Encrypt certificate through the customer portal at my.nomeo.be.
You can add a CAA record to your domain name via the customer portal at mijn.nomeo.be.
Log in to mijn.nomeo.be.
Navigate to the "My domains" tab.
Click on the domain name where you want to set up the CAA record.
Click on "Advanced" and add a new record at the bottom under "CAA records".
With a wildcard certificate, you can secure an unlimited number of subdomains by requesting an SSL certificate for '*.yourdomain.com'.
Such a wildcard certificate is useful if you want to secure a large number of subdomains. When you add a new subdomain, you don’t need to add it to the SSL certificate each time.
There are different types of SSL certificates. The best choice depends on what you want to secure. We offer the following certificate types:
Single-domain SSL certificate:
Secures one domain name, both with and without www. This type of certificate is sufficient for most websites when you don’t need to secure subdomains.
Multi-domain SSL certificate:
Secures multiple domain names of the same owner, particularly useful if you use different domain names for your website or webshop, e.g., "domain.com" and "domainshop.com".
Wildcard SSL certificate:
Secures your domain name and all subdomains, including existing and future ones, saving you time as you don’t need to request a new certificate for every (new) subdomain.
Domain Validation (DV):
Ensures an HTTPS connection to your website but does not provide company information. Suitable for personal websites.
Organization Validation (OV):
Validates both domain name and company details through thorough verification, ideal for business websites handling sensitive data.
Extended Validation (EV):
Displays the company name in a green bar in all browsers, offering the highest level of trust for e-commerce websites.
If you’re unsure which option is best for your website, contact us for advice. We’re happy to assist!
If you have a simple website, a Let’s Encrypt certificate will suffice. It prevents warning messages when users visit your website and ensures a secure connection, increasing visitor trust.
If your website processes sensitive information, we recommend a commercial certificate, which includes insurance in case something goes wrong. Let’s Encrypt certificates do not offer this insurance.
