What SSL.com is
SSL.com is an established commercial CA with a broad product range. It issues both free DV certificates and paid OV/EV — plus certificates for code signing and document signing.
ACME with EAB
SSL.com supports ACME with EAB credentials, so you can automate issuance and renewal like the other ACME CAs — but with access to SSL.com's full product portfolio.
OV/EV and qualified certificates
What sets SSL.com apart from pure free CAs is the breadth: if you need organisation or extended validation, signing certificates, or eIDAS-related trust services, SSL.com covers it all in one place — with support.
When SSL.com fits you
When you want ACME automation and the option of OV/EV or signing under one roof. If you only need free DV, a pure free CA is simpler — see best free SSL providers and which CA you should choose.
How CertControl helps
CertControl's ACME server can relay to SSL.com, and CertControl monitors the certificates whatever their type and CA — so you keep one unified overview, even when you mix DV, OV and EV.
