Which Certificate Do I Need?
All four certificates use the same strength of encryption. The difference is how much verification goes into issuing the certificate, and what that verification shows your visitors.
Domain Validation (Rapid SSL, QuickSSL Premium)
Confirms you control the domain. Issued in minutes — the right choice for personal sites and most small Nigerian businesses that just need a secure connection.
Organization Validation (True BusinessID)
Also confirms your registered business details. Takes 1-3 days to issue — a good fit for businesses that want their verified identity attached to the certificate.
Extended Validation (True BusinessID/EV)
The most thorough verification available, confirming your business's legal, physical and operational existence. Takes 1-5 days to issue — suited to ecommerce and businesses handling sensitive customer data.
Why Your Nigerian Business Needs a Cheap SSL Certificate
Protect your customers and build trust with your website visitors.
256-Bit Encryption
GeoTrust SSL certificates provide up to 256-bit encryption to protect your Nigerian website visitors' data, passwords and payment details.
Build Customer Trust
Nigerian customers look for the padlock icon before entering personal details or making payments. An SSL certificate signals your website is safe and your business is credible.
Build Visitor Trust
HTTPS is a standard security requirement for modern websites and is also a lightweight ranking signal used by Google.
GeoTrust Secure Seal
Your certificate includes a GeoTrust Secure Seal — a visible trust indicator that reassures Nigerian visitors your site is protected.
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all SSL certificates. If you are not completely satisfied, contact us for a full refund. Pay with Flutterwave in Naira.
SSL & HTTPS: How Do They Work?
HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) is the secure version of HTTP, managing all data transfer between your server and your visitors' browsers. The “S” confirms that SSL is protecting the connection and all data is encrypted in transit.
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is the encryption layer within HTTPS, securing data so it is only accessible to authorised parties. At Hostking, we offer SSL certificates at competitive Naira pricing via Flutterwave — you are a few clicks away from securing your Nigerian business website.
Note: if your website is hosted with Hostking on any of our web hosting plans, a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate is already included and automatically installed.
