March 29, 2007 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting provider and domain registrar Network Solutions (networksolutions.com) announced on Thursday it has released a new level of secure sockets layer certificates, in order to increase its level of security and assurance.
The new SiteSafe extended validation certificates include encryption and meticulous validation criteria that applicants must meet to provide Internet consumers with EV certificates, increasing their level of confidence as to Web site validity and security for safe business transactions. Network Solutions is offering special introductory pricing on SiteSafe EV certificates from $399.50 per year with a multi-year term purchase.
“Network Solutions is committed to delivering effective solutions to the constantly evolving online security threats businesses face,” says Champ Mitchell, chairman and CEO of Network Solutions. “By offering Extended Validation Certificates, our customers will be able to show their customers that they are serious about security and about providing the most secure Web sites possible for business transactions.”
The address bar of next-generation Web browsers, such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7, turns green when the user surfs to a web site protected by an EV certificate. In addition to the now-standard padlock image and “https” shown today, the green bar is expected to become the next visual signal sought by customers seeking safe online transactions.
