OV SSL - FAQ
The nature of your website and your desired level of security will determine which kind of SSL certificate is suitable for your purpose. A DV SSL certificate is more than sufficient for smaller projects and for private use for example. Whereas you should consider an advanced certificate type, i.e. OV SSL or EV SSL, if your scope is more complex or larger. A high level of security is guaranteed with both of these certificates. Even better is the EV variant, as it has the browser address line coloured green which indicates the highest level of protection. It also displays your company name to users, specifies the seriousness of your website.
