OV SSL CERTIFICATE
What are Organizational Validation Certificates?
Organizational Validation does more than validate your domain—it verifies your business is who it says it is. The primary reason for a website to obtain an OV SSL Certificate is to encrypt a website user’s sensitive information during transactions. Basic, Advanced and Wildcard SSLs are categorized as Organizational Validation (OV) Certificates. An OV Certificate is issued only after verifying/confirming the legitimacy of the applicant's business. This is done by using currently established and accepted vetting processes, like manually checking credentials such as Dun & Bradstreet numbers, articles of incorporation, WHOIS database information, passport, driver's license, etc. You move through the various stages of validation using the Network Solutions Account Manager. Email communications will also be sent to you to assist in the process.
Once all validation is complete, the SSL Certificate is issued electronically and is ready for installation on the website. If the site is hosted with Network Solutions, much of this installation process is automated. If the website is not hosted with Network Solutions, please contact the hosting provider.If the website is not hosted with Network Solutions, please contact the hosting provider to set up your SSL.
