When to order a Premium SSL certificate
Applies to: Customers comparing the default free Let's Encrypt path with a paid SSL certificate.
Most OneNet hosting customers do not need to buy Premium SSL because free Let's Encrypt is already available for standard website encryption.
What to know
- Use the free SSL path when you want normal browser trust and routine HTTPS for a standard website.
- Choose Premium SSL only when a paid certificate is a real requirement for brand, validation, warranty, or a client contract.
- Premium SSL should be treated as a separate product decision, not the default path for every hosting account.
Next steps on OneNet Servers
- If you only need normal HTTPS, use the free SSL route on your hosting plan.
- If you already purchased Premium SSL, use the Premium SSL installation article next.
