*📜 Plan description
RapidSSL is the entry level domain validated certificate option in this store, designed to provide a quick and inexpensive way to secure a single website with HTTPS and the browser padlock.
Validation is performed at the domain level only, so you prove control of the domain through an email or DNS challenge, and issuance is typically completed within minutes, making it ideal when you need to secure a blog, personal site or simple informational project without delay.
The certificate uses strong 256 bit encryption with a warranty value quoted in the ten thousand US dollar range, includes a browser compatible site seal to display on pages, supports the vast majority of desktop and mobile browsers and allows free reissues for the life of the subscription if you change servers or lose keys.
Recommended use cases on the information page include blogs, informational sites and server to server communications, where the priority is encrypting traffic and avoiding browser warnings rather than asserting detailed company identity.
Pricing is listed at 49.00 per year in the local billing currency with a one year term, and because this is an entry DV product it is typically the most affordable way offered here to eliminate mixed content warnings and get the padlock icon for a single fully qualified domain.
All certificate options in this store are issued by leading certificate authorities and use strong 256 bit encryption with 2048 bit keys, modern browser compatibility and industry standard validation workflows.
Purchasing a certificate here gives you access to a management area where you can generate certificate signing requests, complete domain and organization validation, download issued certificates and reissue them at no extra charge when you change servers or need to adjust details.
Marketing information emphasises the presence of a graphical trust site seal that can be embedded in pages to reassure visitors, warranty coverage that can run into hundreds of thousands or even millions of US dollars depending on the product, and near universal browser and device support for desktop and mobile users.
Detailed feature sections explain how SSL protects login pages, online stores, control panels and application interfaces by encrypting data in transit, reducing the chance that credentials or financial information can be intercepted, and also note that search engines treat HTTPS as a signal in ranking algorithms, so deploying a certificate can contribute to better visibility.
All SSL offerings are sold through the same billing platform as other services from this host, so you can pay conveniently using major credit cards or PayPal, manage renewals alongside hosting and domain services, and receive assistance from the Canadian support team if you run into installation, CSR generation or configuration questions.

📄 Editorial Review
BlackSun is a veteran Canadian hosting brand with roots going back to 1998, based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and operating as a division of VDC Virtual Data Corp under the wider MSP Corp umbrella. Over time they have shifted from being "just" a shared hosting provider into more of a regional cloud and infrastructure specialist, while still keeping a clear focus on Canadian data residency and support.At the front of the catalogue are classic cPanel shared hosting plans aimed at small and medium websites. These are built on SSD storage, include free SSL as standard, one-click WordPress installs, a multi-layer security stack and full daily off-site backups using Veeam with roughly 30 days of restore history. The smallest plan is limited to a single site; higher tiers allow unlimited websites on one account and scale storage up into the hundreds of gigabytes, with some marketing copy referring to capacities up to 1 TB.
WordPress gets a dedicated spotlight through their WP Premium Hosting range. Here BlackSun essentially takes the shared stack and cranks it up: more CPU/RAM and SSD storage, higher bandwidth allocations, a hardened environment (CloudLinux, KernelCare, Imunify360, dual firewalls and reinforced DDoS protection), plus cPanel, Softaculous and a 99.995% uptime target. These plans are clearly aimed at agencies, busy WordPress sites and organisations that want managed WordPress on Canadian infrastructure rather than on a generic global platform.
Above that, they move into cloud and VPS territory. CloudLinux VPS packages emphasise isolation, cPanel/WHM and the same KernelCare/Imunify security approach, but are quoted more as customised builds than as public price tables. Under the broader VDC Cloud Services banner they go further: fully managed virtual servers, Remote Desktop Services, SQL/SharePoint/Exchange application servers, Veeam Cloud backup, firewall/VPN services and managed colocation. That turns BlackSun into a regional cloud vendor for Canadian SMEs and institutions that want their workloads kept inside domestic data centres.
Domains, DNS, SSL, BlackShield web application firewall, a Weebly site builder, SEO add-ons and Microsoft 365 email round out the product set. As a certified .CA registrar they can manage Canadian domains directly, including DNS and renewal/redemption flows.
Overall, BlackSun feels like a security-conscious, infrastructure-aware Canadian host: not the cheapest option, but one that puts serious technology (VMware, triple-redundant storage, Veeam backups, layered security) and local support at the centre of its pitch.
