Recommended SSL certificates

To secure a personal or community website, SiteGround recommends either the Standard Rapid SSL or the Standard Alpha SSL certificate. Both SSL certificates provide strong encryption of the data collected on your website, which fully complies with the industry standards. However, the Standard Alpha SSL is more preferred by the SiteGround users as it comes with a Dynamic Site Seal, which gives more credibility to your website. You can review and compare the SSL certificates once again below:

Site Seal The SSL site seal is the best way to show your visitors your website is authenticated and secured. Once you have an SSL installed you will be able to place the SSL site seal on your website.
Dynamic Site Seal The dynamic site seal is actually a site seal that displays additional verification when clicked on - the domain name for which the SSL certificate is issues, validity period, etc. By having a dynamic site seal on your website, you will no longer lose a visitor.
Mobile Devices Compatibility Many people browse websites through their mobile and smart phones or PDAs. That is why using an SSL certificate, compatible with mobile devices is highly recommended.
Multiple Subdomains An SSL certificate is usually issued for the main domain and all pages located on subfolders (yourdomain.com/subfolder) of the main domain. The standard SSL certificates will not protect multiple pages located on subdomains. However, if you need to secure multiple subdomains of your main domain (*.yourdomain.com), you can take advantage of the Alpha SSL Wildcard certificate.
