SSL Certificates

What is SSL?

Although all SSL certificates use simlilar methods to protect and validate your data, the level of trust and assertion they provide varies. Standard SLL(Domain Validated) Certificates are the easiest and most common types of SSL certificate. OV and EV Certificates also authenticate the identity of the company or organization that holds the certificate providing more trust to end users.

EV Certificates offer the highest level of validation and trust, and will show the name of the company or organization in green in the address bar.
