Thawte SSL Webserver - OV, $ 31.00/mo. on SSL Certificates

This entry represents the single-domain Organization Validated version of the Thawte SSL Webserver certificate. It is positioned for websites that need encryption plus visible business authentication, and the product copy describes it as suitable for securing confidential information exchanged online while assuring visitors of site authenticity through a trusted site seal. Compared with the DV tier, the OV plan adds organization validation for a higher level of trust, making it a stronger fit for customer portals, registration flows, document exchange, member areas, and other commercial or public-facing pages where visitors benefit from verified business identity. The webserver certificate family is described as compatible with all major browsers, customizable around certificate lifespans, backed by the DigiCert CertCentral management portal, and able to secure the standard www and non-www versions of a domain without purchasing an extra SAN. The specifications emphasize X.509 format compliance, unlimited server licensing, and free reissues and replacements for the lifetime of the certificate. Thawte's comparison content indicates that OV certificates are typically issued with identity checks and that the subscription renews automatically every 12 months until canceled, with 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.
