The SSL certificate automatically creates an encrypted connection with the client’s browser and all information is scrambled by a 2048-bit encryption that will protect all information from would-be hackers and intruders.
Sell products and services and require private information from visitors, such as their credit card information or other private personal information.
Want to show credibility to their users. Browsers such as Google Chrome sometimes warn users before entering a website without an SSL certificate. Such warnings scare off visitors, prompting them to leave the website immediately.
The Domain Validation (DV) Certificate is a standard type of SSL which gives proof to domain ownership. Similar to all types of SSL certificates, the DV Certificate will show an apparent “green padlock” symbol in the address bar thereby making the https protocol more visible on any browser.
The Wildcard Domain Validation Certificate provides the same security as the Standard SSL DV Certificates but for unlimited subdomains and servers of the main domain name and may provide a more economical solution if you need to protect multiple subdomains.
The Extended Validation (EV) Certificate not only proves domain ownership but likewise validates the organization. It shows that the business is legitimate and displays the business name in the green address bar. EV certificates are more expensive and take longer processing times for approval (they require a “snail mail” validation of your actual address and submission of legal documents). SSL certificates require the assignment of a dedicated IP number for validation and must not be shared with any other domain website.
*EV validation basics consist of verifying the following:
-
Organization legal name and that it is in good standing. -
Exact organization tradename / DBA (Doing Business As) if applicable.
-
Who is currently operating the business.
-
Address of where the business operates.
-
Organization main listed telephone number.
-
Who controls the domain(s) listed on the certificate.
-
Authenticity of the subscriber agreement.
