What is the Free SSL Certificate?

Our Free SSL Certificate is powered by Let's Encrypt, a trusted and globally recognized Certificate Authority. It provides the same level of encryption (256-bit) as paid certificates. The certificate is valid for 90 days and can be renewed unlimited times at no cost.

Do I need hosting with BiswasHost to get the Free SSL?

No! You can get our Free SSL for any domain, regardless of where it is hosted. You just need to verify domain ownership through either HTTP file upload or DNS TXT record — both options are available during the issuance process.

How do I verify my domain for the Free SSL?

You have two options: HTTP File Upload — download a verification file from your client panel and upload it to your web server at a specific path. DNS TXT Record — add a TXT record to your domain's DNS settings. For wildcard certificates, only DNS verification is supported.

Does the Free SSL support Wildcard domains?

Yes! You can choose between Single Domain or Wildcard (*.yourdomain.com) during the order process. Wildcard certificates cover your main domain and all subdomains. Note that wildcard certificates require DNS verification only.

How do I renew the Free SSL Certificate?

Simply log in to your client panel, go to the SSL service, and click the Renew Certificate tab. You'll need to complete the domain verification again. We also send email reminders before your certificate expires so you never miss a renewal.

What is the difference between Free SSL and Paid SSL?

Both provide the same level of encryption. The key differences are: Validity — Free SSL is valid for 90 days (renewable), paid SSL is valid for 1 year. Warranty — Paid SSL comes with a financial warranty (up to $250,000), Free SSL does not. Validation — Free SSL is Domain Validated (DV) only, paid SSL can be Organization (OV) or Extended Validation (EV). Trust indicators — Paid EV SSL shows your company name in the browser. For most websites, the Free SSL provides everything you need.

What is an SSL Certificate?

SSL Certificates enable data encryption on the internet and allow data to be transmitted securely from a web server to a browser. With SSL, your website can use the HTTPS protocol and will display a padlock in end users' web browsers to indicate the connection is secure.

Why do I need an SSL Certificate?

SSL Certificates are essential for every website. They encrypt communication between your visitors and your server, protect sensitive data like passwords and payment info, boost your Google search ranking, and build trust with your customers by showing the secure padlock icon.

What are the different types of SSL?

There are 3 levels: Domain Validated (DV) — verifies domain ownership only, issued in minutes, ideal for blogs and personal sites. Organization Validated (OV) — verifies your business identity, issued within a day, ideal for business websites. Extended Validation (EV) — the highest level of trust, displays your company name in the browser, ideal for e-commerce and banking sites.

What is a Wildcard SSL Certificate?

A Wildcard SSL certificate secures your main domain and all its subdomains with a single certificate. For example, a wildcard for *.example.com covers mail.example.com, shop.example.com, blog.example.com, and any other subdomain — saving you money and simplifying management.

How do I install the SSL Certificate on my server?

After your certificate is issued, download the certificate file, private key, and CA chain from your client panel. Then upload them to your web server or hosting control panel (cPanel, Plesk, etc.). Most hosting panels have a dedicated SSL section where you can paste the certificate and key. If you need help, our support team is always available.
