Lake Orion, Michigan. (February 2007) – DoMyHosting - We develop the future, today announced a much higher-level of internet security that will be critical to the success of your online business. This new security technology Extended Validation (SSL) Certificate is now available to our customers.

Paranoia surrounding fraud remains an obstacle to consumers shopping online. The padlock encryption symbol used by browsers to indicate HTTPS encryption is often misunderstood. This system does not provide users with a reliable method for distinguishing fraudulent sites from real sites.

In response, the certificate authority industry has developed a new technology, Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates. Unlike previous certificates, which indicate only that the owner controls a particular domain name, (EV) SSL Certificates also attest to the identity of a legitimate business. Internet Explorer 7 indicates the presence of these certificates by turning the address bar green and providing more information about the certificate owner.

While the new guidelines are stringent, DoMyHosting EV SSL Certificates can be issued within two to four hours after all required documentation is received. The EV SSL examination process involves verifying the applying organization’s identity and typically requires a letter from a representing attorney or accountant.

"At DoMyHosting we are excited about offering our customers Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates. Security is an important issue to all internet users. DoMyHosting is dedicated in bring the latest technologies to our customers," said Steven Keltsch President of DoMyHosting.
