(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Certificate Authority VeriSign (www.verisign.com) announced on Thursday reported that its VeriSign Extended Validation Secure Sockets Layer Certificates continue to drive growth in revenues and conversion rates for online merchants.
There are currently more than 13,000 EV SSL Certificates deployed on websites globally, of which more than 10,000 are provided by VeriSign, according to latest Netcraft results.
Last month, Go Daddy reported it is leading the market’s domain-only validated SSL certificates sales with 44 percent of the overall net growth in SSL certificates in May, according to Netcraft’s May 2009 Trends report.
Netcraft separates these sales results into three categories: domain-only validated SSL certificates, organization or business validated SSL certificates, and extended validation SSL certificates.
VeriSign EV SSL Certificates can help increase a website’s sales, decrease abandoned shopping cart rates, and act as a proven safeguard against phishing scams.
Earlier this month, the company extended its partnership with Web.com by letting Web.com customers implement VeriSign’s “Secured Seal”.
