Thawte SSL Webserver - EV, $ 45.00/mo. on SSL Certificates

This entry represents the single-domain Extended Validation version of the Thawte SSL Webserver certificate. It is presented as the highest-assurance option in the range, designed for organizations that want the strongest identity validation together with TLS encryption and a trusted site seal. Thawte specifically frames this plan as ideal for sites that collect payment information and other sensitive data, so it is the clearest fit in the provided pages for checkout flows, e-commerce storefronts, online account areas, financial workflows, and any environment where visitor confidence in business legitimacy is essential. The comparison material states that EV builds on the SSL123 DV and SSL Webserver OV layers and adds extensive company validation for further brand protection. The webserver product family is also described as compatible with all major browsers, manageable through DigiCert CertCentral, and suitable for securing the normal www and non-www versions of a domain without an extra SAN. The validation guidance page expands on EV by listing deeper checks such as organization registration and standing, address and phone validation, blocklist and fraud screening, confirmation of EV contact details and job title by phone, the EV subscriber agreement, and proof of domain ownership. Issuance is shown as taking longer than DV or OV because of the additional identity work, and the commercial display shows a 12 month auto-renewing monthly subscription with future pricing subject to change.

Thawte positions these certificates as browser-trusted TLS protection powered by DigiCert and aimed at improving visitor confidence, brand credibility, and transport encryption across public websites. Their TLS/SSL line is described as using strong 256-bit encryption on a 2048-bit root of trust, with support for more than 99 percent of browsers and mobile device browsers, plus free lifetime reissues and access to DigiCert CertCentral for lifecycle management. Validation follows the usual sequence of CSR creation, order submission, identity checks, certificate installation, and renewal before expiration. Domain Validation focuses on proving domain control, Organization Validation adds business identity checks, and Extended Validation applies the most rigorous review. Support is presented as global and award-winning, with phone, toll-free, email, and chat access, while all listed subscriptions are shown as 12 month auto-renewing plans that continue until canceled.
