Network Solutions announced it will offer a new classification of SSL Certificates at a special limited time price, which recognizes companies with the highest level of online security

March 27, 2007 – (TopHosts News Brief) – Network Solutions has launched SiteSafe™ Extended Validation Certificates (EV Certificates). The certificates are a new level of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) that provides a high level of security and assurance.

The new extended validation gives Internet users with EV certificates increased confidence that the sites are valid, secure and safe for business transactions. Network Solutions is offering special introductory pricing on SiteSafe Extended Validation Certificates, starting at $399.50 per year with a multi-year term purchase, for a limited time.

When the user goes to a website protected by an EV Certificate, the address bar of next-generation Web browsers turns green, as visual assurance of an extended validation level of security. Along with the padlock image and “https” shown today, the green bar is expected to become the next visual signal sought by customers seeking safe online transactions. Websites secured by non-EV Certificates continue to display the closed padlock and “https”; however, the browser address bar remains white.

“Network Solutions is committed to delivering effective solutions to the constantly evolving online security threats businesses face,” Champ Mitchell, chairman and CEO of Network Solutions, said in a Business Wire release. “By offering Extended Validation Certificates, our customers will be able to show their customers that they are serious about security and about providing the most secure Web sites possible for business transactions.”
