Backstage: How to Purchase an SSL
What is SSL? SSL is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, an encryption technology that was created by Netscape. SSL creates an encrypted connection between your web server and your visitors’ web browser allowing for private information to be transmitted without the problems of eavesdropping, data tampering, or message forgery.
If you are transmitting sensitive information on a web site, such as credit card numbers or personal information, you need to secure it with SSL encryption. It is possible for every piece of data to be seen by others unless it is secured by an SSL certificate.
For further information on the SSL and our prices, check out this helpful page.
If you wish to purchase the SSL, you can follow the guide below to aid you in the process.

Hello Fernando,
I ran your comment through a translator, so I apologise if I miss anything :) You are looking for a certificate with a seal, is that correct? If so, you can get that done through the steps described here. You will need to ask for the seal separately in the ticket, but that is not a problem at all.

Hi Fernando,
For a more detailed suggestion, I would recommend you contact our support team. If you provide them with the details of what you need, they can make sure you get the right certificate :) 2048-bit is not a problem at all, and a wildcard certificate should only be needed if you want to secure multiple subdomains (www., sales., and billing., for example).

Hi Fernando,
I apologise, but I am not quite sure what you mean. I am translating this again, but it is not working as well – can you explain your question in more detail?

“10) Select the email you wish the SSL to be sent to.”…does this E-mail the new SSL Cert’s Private Key to me? If so, that’s bad, E-mail is insecure.

Yes, it is emailed to you. Our mail servers are as secure as they can be, however, and we take every precaution.
