[SSL certificates]
For the initial purchase we just need to know what sort of certificate you want (1, 2 or 3 years) and the hostname. For a standard certificate the host name is the domain name that you wish to be accessed securely. In our case, for example, we have a certificate for the hostname "www.memset.com", and use it with the URL "https://www.memset.com/".
If you want a certificate that will work for any subdomain of your main domain name, then we also offer wildcard certificates. For example, a wildcard certificate on "yourdomain.com" would work with "https://yourdomain.com", "https://www.yourdomain.com", "https://shop.yourdomain.com", ""https://anything.yourdomain.com" etc.

About SSL certificates
An SSL certificate is tied to a particular domain name and allows the visitors to verify your site's identity when using HTTPS. SSL certificates are considered mandatory for any e-commerce sites, as well as any online activity where encryption and validation is important.
An example of an SSL certificate in action is our own site, for example if you go to the secure version of this page there is no warning, but if you go to the secure version of this page using a domain without a certificate then a warning will appear.
Our certificates are 128 bit and are trusted by over 99% of current internet users' Web browsers. The standard certificates carry a US$10,000 warranty and the wildcard certificates have a $250,000 warranty.
What you need to provide
In order to generate a validated SSL we need the following information from you:
- Contact Name
- Contact Email Address (eg. someone@yourcompany.com)
- Full Postal address (Street, Town/City, County, Postcode, Country)
- Host name (eg. www.yourcompany.com)
- Password
We also require documentary proof of identity. If the certificate is for an individual then a scan of your passport or photo drivers license, or if a company then a scan of the certificate of incorporation.
All of the above information will be asked for after the initial purchase of the certificate.
