SSL certificate validation methods
Whilst SSL is an industry standard, the array of certificates and providers can make deciding a very difficult process. SSL247 simplifies this process by offering unbiased advice and by providing clarity and insight into the key differences between certificates. This is the exact opposite of most providers who use small print and marketing spin to confuse rather than clarify the issues.
Remember that we supply GlobalSign, GeoTrust and VeriSign certificates – and that our job is to help you get the perfect solution.
This guide demystifies SSL by explaining the fundamentals of SSL validation, because there are – in effect – only three types of SSL certificate available: irrespective of supplier.
These are DV, OV and EV – or domain validation, organisation validation and extended validation. Each has their plus and minus points – the key is to decide which is best for you.
