Once your site is enabled with Digi EV SSL, the browser address bar will turn green when a user visits your site, showing that your website has been verified as authentic and not a known scam or phishing site. This will set your business apart, giving your customers peace of mind when submitting private data.

Additional Benefits:

  • Browsers will clearly identify your web site to your customers at all times, so they know who they are doing business with.
  • Browsers will show that you have been verified by a trusted, authorized EV provider by displaying the name of the SSL Certificate Authority (CA) who issued the EV Certificate.
  • Your customers will know immediately if redirected from a legitimate EV site to a bogus phishing site, since it will no longer display as trusted green.

Although EV SSL certificates are validated to the highest level, Digi has streamlined the process to provide your certificate in quickest and most effective way possible.

EV Certificates are usually issued within a day or two of the original request. However, it is always a good idea to order your certificate in advance of when it will actually be needed.

Common Questions About Extended Validation EV SSL:

What is EV SSL? EV stands for extended validation SSL, a new kind of certificate that enables special features in client browsers to demonstrate increased trust in the site they are accessing.

For most users accessing an EV SSL secured site, the URL bar will turn green. All major browsers have slightly different methods of displaying an EV enabled website.

Who Needs Extended Validation? For organizations that are likely to be targeted by a large number of phishing scam attempts, EV is virtually a must.

We also recommend that sites which would benefit from improved conversion rates, or additional means of building trust with their clients, consider EV SSL certification as a means of improving their e-commerce websites.

Otherwise, EV SSL certification helps protect all kinds of organizations against recently unveiled hacks such as the SSL man in the middle attack.

Can I Get an EV Wildcard? This is about the most common question that we get about EV certificates. Many customers want to know if they can get an EV wildcard SSL certificate. Fortunately, while EV wildcards are not permissible (due to the requirements put forth for the issuance of EV certificates by the CAB forum, which regulates the use and issuance of EV certificates), many similar functions can be attained with the use of Subject Alternate Names.

Can I Upgrade My Existing Certificate to an EV? We always allow customers to upgrade their existing certificate to a new cert, so upgrading in the case of EV won't be a problem. However, it should be noted that customers will have to undergo the EV validation process before their upgraded certificates will be issued. Also, as mentioned above, upgrades to EV Wildcards are not permitted.

Do EV Certificates Include the Unlimited Server License? Yes! The unlimited server license is available for any and all of our SSL certificate products. If you need help exporting your existing SSL certificate to a new server, please contact us for assistance.
