Premium Extended Validation Certificates provide the highest level of online assurance for your customers using a process that's standardized across all certification authorities:

More extensive than any existing SSL vetting process (undertaken by any certification authority). Verifies your organization's identity, the validity of your request and the overall legitimacy of your business. Two types of U.S. businesses that qualify for this certificate:

Corporate registration refers to organizations which include corporations and limited liability companies. Business entities include legally registered business entities such as LP, LLP, PC, and organizations that do business using a legally registered assumed name.

Browsers also display both the organization name and issuing certification authority.

Using the same rock-solid, 256-bit encryption technology as our Standard SSL and Deluxe SSL Certificates, Premium SSL Certificates prove that your Web site is a secure place for customers to conduct business.
 

Multiple Domain Certificates, also called Unified Communications Certificates (UCC), provide the most flexible class of SSL Certificates today by securing multiple domain names with one certificate.

Secure up to 100 domain names on one certificate. Save money because the cost of one Multiple Domain Certificate, with additional domain names, is less than the cost of individual certificates for each unique domain name. Compatible with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and Microsoft Communications Server. Simplifies the process of managing multiple certificates with varying expiration dates.

Our Single, Multiple Domain and Subdomain certificates all use the same rock-solid, 256-bit encryption technology, proving that your Web site is a secure place for customers to conduct business.

NOTE: The UCC Certificate is ideal for Communication Server, Exchange Server and other Enterprise Applications, as well as for single companies or entities with many related URLs. This Certificate is not recommended for use with sites completely separate from each other (e.g. a network provider who builds Web sites for competitors).

"In the applicant tracking solutions market, your SSL Certificate is your bond. Applicant candidates and employers alike expect that their data is secure. So two years ago when Hirebridge needed a source for our SSL certificate, our first choice was GoDaddy.com. It just made sense. The whole process was simple and foolproof. The value was exceptional. The customer support remains unsurpassed. We can buy an SSL certificate from any vendor, but GoDaddy.com isn't just a vendor. They're our partner. Two years later, we see no reason to change."

- Jeff Kasten, Vice President
  Hirebridge

"GoDaddy.com's SSL certificate is a cost effective way to ensure our customer's and franchisees' private information is more secure when they visit Cold Stone Creamery's Web site and intranet,” stated Eric Parsons, senior manager of business applications. “And while the certificate protects our customers, we've also found that GoDaddy.com shares our high standards of professionalism and customer service."

- Eric Parsons, Senior Manager of Business Applications
  Coldstone Creamery

"We have now installed our EV certificate from GoDaddy.com and I wanted to share the experience with you. As a financial institution that does business on the Internet we are constantly dealing with fraud. Escrow.com wants to provide our customers the most secure site possible and the addition of the EV Cert from GoDaddy.com is part of that strategy. The EV Cert is only available to corporations who have gone through an extensive background check, are legally registered in the United States and considered to be in 'good standing.' The process of getting the cert requires work and due diligence for both the issuing and receiving party. We chose the GoDaddy.com EV Cert for a few different reasons. First, we have a long relationship with GoDaddy.com and consider them to be a top quality supplier. Second, our philosophy regarding customer support is consistent with that of GoDaddy.com, in the world of the Internet, people want to be able to talk to someone in customer support when they need to. Having live customer support that you can actually get to is very important to us. Third, the cost of the GoDaddy.com cert was very attractive when compared to some of the other offerings. And fourth, the installation process was very easy and caused no customer interference."

- Brandon W. Abbey
  President & Managing Director of Escrow.com

"The GoDaddy.com cert cost less than half your competitor's and we received it in less than half the time."

- Bill Dawson

What are SSL Certificates?
People are getting smart about online security. More and more of them are looking for the padlock icon, the “https” prefix and a green address bar in their browser before submitting personal information online. If your Web site doesn’t have an SSL Certificate, visitors may leave before making a purchase, creating an account or even signing up for a newsletter. But you can change all that with an SSL Certificate.

SSL Certificates are digital certificates that authenticate the identity of a Web site to visiting browsers and encrypt information for the server via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.

An SSL Cert serves as an electronic “passport” that establishes an online entity’s credentials when doing business on the Web. When an Internet user attempts to send confidential information to a Web server, the user’s browser will access the server’s digital certificate and establish a secure connection.

How Can I Secure My Website?
Installing an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificate from GoDaddy.com on your e-commerce Web site allows you to secure your online business and build customer confidence by securing all online transactions with up to 256-bit encryption. An SSL Certificate on your business’ Web site will ensure that sensitive data is kept safe from prying eyes via a secure server. With a GoDaddy.com SSL Certificate, customers will place more trust in your secure website.

Before issuing a certificate, GoDaddy.com rigorously authenticates the requestor’s domain control and, in the case of Deluxe High Assurance SSL Certificates, the identity and, if applicable, the business records of the certificate-requesting entity. The authentication process ensures that customers and business partners can rest assured that a Web site protected with a GoDaddy.com certificate can be trusted. Additionally, GoDaddy.com Premium Extended Validation SSL Certificates provide the highest level of online assurance – perfect for high-value e-commerce – where our standardized vetting process verifies the legitimacy and status of your registered business.

A GoDaddy.com SSL Certificate provides the security your business needs and the protection your customers deserve.
With a GoDaddy.com SSL Certificate, customers will know that you have a secure site.

What Are Extended Validation Certificates?
Premium Extended Validation Certificates provide the highest level of online assurance for your customers thanks to a process that’s standardized across all certification authorities. Using the most extensive SSL vetting process available, EV SSL certificates are available to two types of entities:
Both types of business entities need to be legally registered in the U.S. and verified with a registered status of “Good Standing,” “Active” or equivalent. A letter from an attorney or accountant is typically required during application. The process then verifies the organization’s identity, the validity of the request and the overall legitimacy of the business.

This combination of a rigorous, standardized vetting process and new browser versions displaying EV SSL-secured Web sites differently helps visitors instantly recognize that a Web site can be trusted. As Internet users become familiar with the new browser versions, they will immediately recognize the difference between Web sites that are secured with traditional SSL certificates and those that are covered by the more stringent EV SSL.
