SSL certificate types

DV vs OV vs EV, single-domain vs wildcard vs multi-domain.

DV (Domain Validated) Fastest. Only proves you control the domain. Good for blogs, brochure sites.
OV (Organization Validated) Verifies the legal entity. Business info appears in the certificate.
EV (Extended Validation) Highest scrutiny. Historically showed the green bar; modern browsers show it in cert details.
Wildcard Covers *.yourdomain.com — every direct subdomain.
Multi-Domain (SAN) Covers up to 100 different domains on one cert.
