SSL/TLS certificates provide data security, web encryption, and identity verification for businesses in tiered service plans and prices. As the internet progresses to greater levels of encryption on communication and file transfer requests, free SSL/TLS certificates have become popular for their ease of installation and use. More expensive SSL/TLS certificates will include the "green bar" in the web browser as well as the company name rather than only the "lock" symbol in the address bar. Previously SSL/TLS required a unique IP address for every domain name with some exceptions for wildcard domain certificates. Free SSL/TLS certificates do not require a dedicated IP address to operate. Many web hosts resell SSL/TLS certificates from registrars at various prices and permit installation of SSL/TLS certificates from any source with a domain name. Wildcard certificates can be used with multiple domain names, while most other SSL/TLS certificates will only work with a single domain and its registered subdomain addresses.
