Security & DNS
SSL Certificates
TLS certificate estates issued, installed, automated and monitored across websites, mail, control panels and internal services so nothing expires unnoticed.
Capabilities
What we implement
- DV, OV and EV certificate selection per service
- Wildcard and multi-domain (SAN) planning
- Let's Encrypt / ACME automation with renewal hooks
- Full chain installation on web, mail and panel services
- Expiry inventory and alerting
Security
How it is hardened
- Modern cipher suites and TLS 1.2 / 1.3 only
- HSTS and redirect policy where appropriate
- Private key handling and permissions reviewed
- CAA records limiting who may issue for the domain
Editions & pricing
SSL Certificates editions and vendor pricing
Vendor list prices for the editions we deploy. Deployment, migration, hardening and support are quoted separately by Techno Trader PK — they are never bundled into these figures.
| Edition | Licensed by | Vendor list price |
|---|---|---|
| Domain validated (DV)Indicative only. Free ACME certificates cover most sites; paid DV certificates start around USD 10 per year. | per domain / year | $0 |
| Organisation validated (OV)Indicative list price; varies by certificate authority and term. | per domain / year | $70 |
| WildcardIndicative list price; verify at quote time. | per domain / year | $200 |
| Extended validation (EV)Priced per organisation and term — quoted after validation requirements are confirmed. | per domain / year | Quote only |
Prices are checked against the vendor's published price list. Last verified 10 Sept 2026. Vendor list prices exclude tax and can change without notice.
Architecture
Certificate lifecycle
Certificates are inventoried, issued to a plan, installed with the full chain and renewed automatically — expiry should never be an incident.

FAQ
SSL Certificates questions we are asked
- Is a free certificate as secure as a paid one?
- The encryption is identical. Paid certificates buy organisation validation, longer terms, warranties and support — useful for public-facing commerce, unnecessary for most internal services.
- Why does the site show a certificate warning after installing?
- Almost always a missing intermediate certificate. The full chain has to be installed, which is why every change is verified with an external checker.
- Should we use a wildcard certificate?
- It simplifies many subdomains on one platform, but one private key then covers everything. Where hosts are administered by different people, separate certificates are safer.
- Can renewals be automated on cPanel or Plesk?
- Yes. Both panels support ACME issuance, and renewal plus service reload is configured so certificates never lapse.
