Buy SSL Certificate

Introduction

SSL certificates are cryptographic keys in the form of a very small file. When installed on a website, it enables a secure connection between a user’s web browser and the website server. It makes the information unreadable to everyone else and protects it from hackers and digital identity thieves.

SSL secures data transfers, logins, financial transactions, and other sensitive information and is increasingly becoming the norm.

Select SSL Certificates

• Log in to E2E Networks MyAccount Portal and select Buy SSL Certificates on the left window pane.

• After selecting SSL Certificates, click on “Buy SSL Certificate”.

• Select the type of certificate that you would like to purchase & click on the ‘Buy Now’ button.

Note

• Positive SSL Certificates – Single Domain certificate for a single secure origin (e.g., www.example.com). These certificates are applicable for only one domain and will not protect the sub-domains (e.g., mail.example.com).
• Positive SSL Wildcard Certificates – Wildcard certificate for a secure origin with many dynamic subdomains (e.g., a.example.com, b.example.com). A wildcard certificate is issued for “.domain.com,” where the character () secures an unlimited number of sub-domains, including second-level sub-domains.

  3. The next step for the customer is to log in to their domain’s hosting Control Panel (typically the registrar of your domain).
  4. Locate and select the DNS Zone Manager for your domain.
  5. Select the option to create a new CNAME Record.
  6. In the Host Name or Alias field, enter the value of the alias name fetched from MyAccount. This value begins with an “_” and that special character must be present in the record.
  7. In the CNAME / Points To field, place the other value from MyAccount.
  8. Set the TTL to 3600 or the lowest possible option.
  9. Click Save and wait for the record to propagate (typically around 15 minutes).
