The prompts
Prompt 1
I need help selecting an SSL certificate for my e-commerce website. My budget is around $100/year. Security is my top priority, and I need to support multiple subdomains. I also want to ensure compatibility with all major browsers. Please provide a detailed comparison of at least three SSL certificate options, including their features, pricing, and suitability for my needs. Include steps on how to verify certificate authenticity after installation.
Prompt 2
Compare and contrast the features, benefits, and use cases of Domain Validated (DV), Organization Validated (OV), and Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates. Focus on the differences in verification processes, trust indicators, and their impact on user perception. Additionally, discuss which types of websites are best suited for each type of certificate, considering factors like budget, security requirements, and brand reputation. Elaborate on wildcard SSL certificates and multi-domain (SAN) certificates. How they can consolidate certificate management and which situations are best suited for their implementation?
Prompt 3
I run a small blog with low traffic. I need an SSL certificate to enable HTTPS. Suggest a cost-effective solution that is easy to install and maintain. I primarily want to secure the main domain and ensure a secure connection for my visitors. I'm using shared hosting and don't have advanced technical skills. Include any automated renewal options available for the recommended certificate.
