May 8, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Security certificate provider DigiCert (digicert.com) announced on Tuesday it is now offering Extended Validation SSL certificates, a third-party verification created to combat fraud and promote customer confidence online.
Level 1 PCI DSS Certified Service Provider! DataPipe delivers the best network & support; top tier data centers; New York metro, Silicon Valley, London, Hong Kong, Shanghai. DataPipe - Personal Touch, Global Reach.
In response to escalating phishing and identity theft threats over the years, DigiCert and other major certificate authorities joined with browser makers to form the CA/Browser Forum and develop current guidelines for EV certificates. Extended Validation SSL certificates work with high security Web browsers such as IE7 to turn the address bar green, assuring customers that the Web site's identity has been confirmed, and that the Web site is not a copycat site trying to steal passwords or credit card numbers.
"At an introductory price of $495, DigiCert's EV offering is an unbeatable value," says DigiCert's CEO Ken Bretschneider, "especially when you consider that our EV certificates include our Plus feature which secures your chosen site name with or without the 'www.' For example, if you order a DigiCert EV Certificate for the site name 'www.digicert.com', your certificate will include 'digicert.com' free of charge."
For customers with multiple load balanced Web servers, DigiCert also offers an unlimited server license for an additional one-time fee of $295, based on a one year EV certificate. The unlimited license enables users to install their certificate on two or more servers without having to pay a per-server price for each additional server.
