What are the advantages of an Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificate for your business?

Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates assure visitors that your organization is who it claims to be, and that they are not on a phishing site.

EV certificates are available for the following types of organizations, businesses, and corporations:

• Incorporated or limited liability companies that are legally registered with a "Good Standing," "Active," or equivalent status.
• Business entities such as general partnerships, unincorporated associations, DBAs, and sole proprietorships.
