Different SSL certificates provide a varying degree of trust to website users. Aside from those features, you’ll get the following benefits from paid SSL certificates:

• Variety of Choices – Paid SSL certificates are best used on e-commerce websites, social media websites, and lead generation websites. These websites collect sensitive information from their website users. Paid SSLs have three options: Domain Validated (DV), Organization Validated (OV), and Extended Validation (EV). Each of these has different levels of authentication and Extended Validation SSL is considered the strongest. Aside from the three popular types of SSL certificates, users may also purchase single-domain, wildcard, and multi-domain certificates that provide website security.
• Level of Validation – CAs conduct an intensive validation process to make sure the paid SSL certificates (OV and EV) go to a legitimate, trustworthy owner.
• Extended Validity Period – Paid SSL certificates are valid up to 27 months only. It must be renewed after every validity period to make sure its components are up-to-date and compliant to industry standards.
• Technical Support – The money that a user invested in a paid SSL certificate comes with notable technical support from their CA. They have a committed team of trained technical experts to support the users throughout the certificate’s life cycle. Users may also choose to contact their CA technical support team through email, chat, or call.
• Level of Trust – As we’ve mentioned before, paid SSL certificates come in different variants, namely DV, OV, EV, and many more. Depending on the level, these certificates can show the organization’s name, country, city, and state. Also, the website visitors can see which CA issued the certificate. If the website visitors are still in doubt, they may visit the CA/B Forum’s list of members for further details.
