SSL Certificate Support

We are a very important Symantec Platinum Partner and we purchase SSL certificates in extremely large quantities from them. We sign extensive contracts and make long-term commitments because we have created the vehicle to sell & manage a lot of their products; therefore we are able to buy their products at bulk rates. But not only are we able to deliver the exact same products at discounted prices, we are what is called a Value-Added Reseller (VAR), which means we are able to also provide more value to a customer such as; superior customer service & technical support that the bigger companies are not necessarily set-up to do for high volumes of SSL.

Once, you purchase the certificate and process your order. You will then need to send your necessary documents to the respective company. For Domain Validated Certificates you will receive an Approver or DCV email to prove you are the domain owner. For OV & EV certificates, you will need to provide the documentation requested.

DV or a Domain Validated Certificate is a certificate that only requires you to verify that you are the owner of your domain. This occurs by receiving an email that is sent to the WHOIS information or email addresses belonging to that domain to verify that you own the rights to use the domain. This happens immediately for fast issuance, but sometimes lacks trust because almost anyone can get a DV certificate issued. Here are our DV certs:

For Organization Validated (OV) Certificates, the issuing Certificate Authority (CA) validates your organization information to make sure you are an actual organization. They verify the Organization Name, Physical Address, and Phone Number. This data must match with the WHOIS information and also a public Government Information website or an approved Third-Party Website before being issued. OV certificates add more trust to a consumer because they are assured that they are doing business with a real corporate entity. Here are our OV certs:

EV or Extended Validation Certificates are recognized and known as the most highly trusted type of SSL certificate. During the EV verification process, the issuing vendor or CA totally verifies that you are a legitimate business and in good standing above and beyond an OV verification process. Once this process is successfully completed and your EV SSL is issued, all the browser indicators will be activated on your site to let your customers know that you can be trusted. The most important indicator that becomes active is the "Verified Business Name" in a user's web browser. EV certificates are the only certificates where potential ROI exists...because more trust means more confidence; which could mean they are more likely to buy from you.

In some cases where your company cannot be validated in "government authority" resources, you may be required to provide a Government Issued Business Credential, aka "Proof of Right" (POR); which is a doc that gives a company the right to do business in that name.

• Articles of Incorporation/Certificate of Formation
• Business/Vendor/Reseller/Merchant License
• Charter Documents/Partnership Papers
• Registration of Trade or Assumed Name/Doing Business As/Fictitious Name Statement
• Registro Mercantil
