VirMach GeoTrust True BusinessID with EV, $ 179.00/yr.

GeoTrust True BusinessID with EV is marketed as the premium option in this range, offering extended validation for maximum visual trust and the highest standard of identity verification available in mainstream SSL products. For this certificate type the authority performs a more detailed review of corporate information, legal existence, operational presence and contact details before issuing, and the certificate is then configured so that compatible browsers can display prominent trust indicators when visitors access the site. Historically this meant a green style address bar and rotation between the company name and the GeoTrust brand, and although modern browsers have simplified the way they present certificates, the underlying EV status still signals that the website has passed stricter checks than DV or OV alone. The plan is recommended for ecommerce stores, financial portals, membership systems and any front facing site where users are expected to enter payment information or other highly sensitive data and where management wants to send the strongest possible trust signal. The advertised price of around one hundred seventy nine dollars per year positions it at the top of the product stack but makes it less expensive than many standalone EV certificates purchased directly from certificate authorities, while still allowing it to be managed inside the same billing system used for the hosting itself.

SSL certificates on this platform are delivered through an automated system that handles certificate requests, validation and provisioning through the same billing portal that is used for hosting and domain services. After a certificate order is placed and payment is confirmed, the system guides the customer through domain control validation and then issues the certificate, so in most cases the certificate can be deployed in minutes without in depth PKI knowledge. Once installed, the certificate encrypts traffic between browsers and the web server so that logins, forms and payment details cannot be read in transit, and browsers display the familiar padlock and https prefix next to the site address to indicate a secure connection and verified identity information. The catalogue and help text explain the differences between domain validation, organisation validation and extended validation, noting that DV is suitable for personal sites and non critical pages, OV adds business identity for login and account areas, and EV provides the highest assurance for ecommerce and online banking style applications where trust signals are especially important.

Alongside individual product descriptions, the SSL section emphasises that encrypting every production site has become a baseline best practice and that modern browsers now label plain http sites as not secure, sometimes with visible warnings that can unsettle visitors and damage conversion rates. Search engines are described as rewarding encrypted sites with small ranking boosts, which gives site owners an extra incentive to enable https even on content sites that do not handle payments. The material highlights benefits such as encrypting sensitive data, protecting user privacy, activating the lock icon, proving site legitimacy and improving SEO, all of which apply regardless of which certificate brand or validation level is chosen. There is also guidance that, when a domain is hosted on the same provider using supported control panels like cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin, renewal orders can be generated automatically and the system will help with validation and installation each year so that certificates are kept current with minimal manual effort from administrators.
