The prompts
Prompt 1
I need help choosing an SSL certificate for my website. My website is an e-commerce platform that processes online payments and stores sensitive customer data. We anticipate a high volume of traffic, including both desktop and mobile users. Security is paramount, and we need to ensure compliance with industry standards like PCI DSS. Please recommend three SSL certificate options, outlining the pros and cons of each in terms of security level, validation process, warranty, and cost. Also, advise on whether a wildcard certificate or a multi-domain certificate would be more appropriate for our needs, considering we may expand to multiple subdomains in the future. Our current infrastructure is based on Apache web server.
Prompt 2
I am launching a personal blog to share my thoughts and experiences. The blog will not handle any sensitive information or financial transactions. I expect a relatively low volume of traffic initially but plan to scale up over time. I need a basic SSL certificate to encrypt the connection between my readers and the website. Suggest a cost-effective SSL certificate suitable for my blog. I am using a shared hosting environment and want a simple installation process. Please also advise on how frequently I should renew the certificate and any potential impact on SEO if I don't have an SSL certificate installed. The blog is running on WordPress.
