RapidSSLOnline Coupons & Promo Codes

An OV certificate requires proof of your business identity and domain ownership. The application also includes checks on your organization's location and telephone number, followed by a final call from the certificate authority. During enrollment, the business details you provide need to match your official registration, including any registered trading names. The certificate authority can use government registration records, and official registration documents provide an alternative way to establish the business details. Domain authentication can involve an approved email address, DNS records or a file supplied by the certificate authority. The final call confirms the order with you or your designated applicant. For that call, provide an extension when your organization's listed number does not reach you directly.

Organizations purchasing SSL certificates in volume can request RapidSSLOnline bulk pricing. The bulk program covers certificates from RapidSSL, GeoTrust, Thawte and DigiCert, with enterprise account managers discussing the purchase requirements. RapidSSLOnline offers this route for orders involving dozens, hundreds or thousands of certificates across a network. Pricing is arranged through a bulk inquiry rather than a fixed discount stated for every order. The program also offers certificate management solutions for tracking certificates, renewals and key rotations across a larger deployment. You can discuss your requirements with an account manager by phone or live chat, or request a quote through the bulk purchase page. The dedicated inquiry form is under Buy SSL Certificates in Bulk.

You select the certificate term and coverage before adding the order to your cart. RapidSSL Certificate purchases offer one-, two- and three-year terms, with a lower annual rate on the longer options. The purchase area lists the term choices, and Certificate Options distinguishes a standard certificate from the option covering your main site and its subdomains. The standard RapidSSL certificate includes unlimited server licenses, so server licensing is another detail to consider alongside domain coverage. These are separate choices: installing on more servers does not turn a single-site certificate into a wildcard certificate. The purchase area includes a Quantity selector, the Total and the Add to cart button for the selected configuration.

Eligible RapidSSLOnline orders can receive a refund, cancellation or store credit within 30 days of the original purchase. The request must be submitted through your customer control panel for the specific order. The money-back guarantee excludes subscription products, additional Subject Alternative Names and fees for purchasing or shipping hardware tokens. Subscription cancellation is governed by your agreement, with access continuing until the billing period ends. To the extent permitted by applicable law, subscription payments are non-refundable and partial-month periods receive no refund or credit. A certificate bought for fraudulent use is also ineligible for a refund or exchange. For an eligible certificate order, submit the order-specific request within the 30-day window measured from purchase.

The three-year RapidSSL Certificate option has the lowest listed annual rate among its three purchase terms. One year costs $19.95 per year, two years cost $18.95 per year, and three years cost $18.65 per year. These are annualized prices for different order lengths, so the longer option purchases more time even though its yearly rate is lower. RapidSSLOnline also sells RapidSSL Wildcard, GeoTrust, Thawte and DigiCert certificates, which serve different coverage and authentication needs. The offers on this page should be matched to the certificate you intend to buy. A longer order requires certificate reissues during its lifespan, and those reissues are free. The standard certificate's three-year order total is $55.95.

RapidSSLOnline offers installation assistance and a separate paid installation service. Technical support is available around the clock, while having a specialist perform the installation costs $89.99 for one certificate on one server. The installation order form asks for your domain name, server count, server type and whether you need help generating a Certificate Signing Request. Each additional server costs $40, and CSR generation assistance is included with the installation service. After purchase and certificate issuance, you arrange a session with a specialist through your account. Available arrangements include remote installation, a screen-sharing session or a guided phone call. To book the session, use the Schedule button beside the installation service in My Orders.

RapidSSL Wildcard covers one base domain and its subdomains rather than multiple separate domain names. It includes the root domain's www and non-www versions, along with unlimited subdomains under that domain. Unlimited server licenses are included at no additional licensing cost, so the same certificate can be installed across your servers. The purchase offers one-, two- and three-year durations, and the selected term appears alongside the certificate quantity before you add it to your cart. Its coverage is tied to the wildcard name you request, such as an asterisk followed by your base domain. Separate domain names call for a multi-domain certificate instead. For the wildcard order, begin the CSR's Common Name with an asterisk and a dot before your domain.

A DV certificate can be issued after you complete domain authentication. You must demonstrate control of the domain included in your order before the certificate authority issues the certificate. For email authentication, the approval message goes to one of five permitted addresses associated with that domain, rather than an arbitrary contact address. These include admin, administrator, webmaster, hostmaster and postmaster addresses at your domain. After generating the SSL order, you receive the instructions needed for alternative authentication methods. DNS authentication uses values supplied by the certificate authority, while file authentication requires uploading its text file to your website. For a wildcard certificate, select email or DNS authentication because file authentication is not permitted for wildcard domains.

RapidSSLOnline supports certificate reissues when you move servers. Reissuing replaces the certificate files within an active order, and RapidSSL certificates include unlimited reissues at no extra cost. A new Certificate Signing Request can be created on the destination server; the corresponding private key must be retained for installation. In your account, open My Dashboard to reach CertPanel, locate the relevant asset or order and open its details. Start the reissue process, supply the CSR and complete the enrollment steps for that certificate. Once the certificate authority issues the replacement, install it on the new server using the matching private key. The action on the Active Order details page is called Re-Issue the SSL Certificate.

RapidSSLOnline describes a free SSL trial lasting 30 days. This is a fully functional single-root certificate with the same browser recognition as RapidSSL and RapidSSL Wildcard. The trial allowance is one free certificate per domain, so it is intended for temporary use rather than ordering multiple free certificates for the same domain. An expiring free certificate cannot be reissued, although you can request a new one. RapidSSLOnline also offers paid RapidSSL and RapidSSL Wildcard certificates without a limit on the number you can order. For help with the trial or the subsequent purchase, its team is available by phone, live chat, email and help desk ticket. The trial's stated validity is 30 days.
