An SSL Certificate is generally used to secure a website, or, in technical terms, a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) such as “https://www.yoursite.com“. Depending on the type of certificate you order, the Certificate Authority verifies either just the domain ownership or the entire set of your company’s documents, too.

But what if you want to secure an IP address instead of a website?

Is it possible?

Does it fall under the same issuing guidelines?

Fortunately, it’s not only possible but in some cases, it’s also recommended to do it. Whether you need a Domain Validation IP address certificate or a Business Validation product for your company, we’ve got you covered. As long as the IP address you want to secure is public, our first-class certificates will safeguard it around the clock.

Best SSL Certificates to Secure an IP Address

To increase online security, the Certificate Authorities Browser Forum forced the Certificate Authorities to revoke all SSL Certificates that used intranet names or IP addresses. If you wonder what are the gains of owning a secure public IP, here are the main benefits:

  •  a verified identity,
  •  noticeable encryption
  •  and extra IP address use (some services require IP SSL authentication).

As you may have already learned, not all SSL Certificates can secure an IP address, but here at SSL Dragon, we’ve got a few special products that can accomplish this task.
