From an encryption standpoint, there is no discernable difference between a Domain Validation SSL certificate and an Extended Validation SSL certificate purchased through Zipline. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer and these certificates all use the latest encryption standards; both types of SSL will maintain the security of your web application. While the technical encryption is the same, there are some differences between the SSL options we provide in terms of prices and features. Below is a comparison of the key features and the price point at each certificate level.

When obtaining an Extended Validation (EV) SSL you will be required to go through a business verification process where you will work with the 3rd party SSL company to prove your business identity. Once this is complete, your SSL will be issued and when installed it will not only encrypt the connection between your users and the website, but show who the certificate was issued to (your company) and the physical location of your company. If users know what they're looking for, they will see that the identity of your company has been thoroughly vetted and verified. You will also receive the added benefit of an increased warranty coverage that comes along with the EV SSL that covers any fraudulent activity due to a faulty SSL product or encryption.
