  All EV certificates provide that feature, not just the ones sold by Verisign. Are you a paid shill of Verisign? In general, no one should ever do business with Verisign, due to their practice of domain slamming, their Site Finder misfeature, and other shady practices.

    Do they still do that? Thanks for pointing that out though, I found this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/05/14/verisign_hit_with_slamming_lawsuit/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/05/14/verisign_hit_with_sl... through Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_scams#cite_note-6 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_scams#cite_note-6 "VeriSign was sued in 2002 for their actions in sending ambiguous emails informing people, often incorrectly, that their domain was about to expire and inviting them to click on a link to renew it. Renewing the domain resulted in the registration company being transferred to VeriSign from the previous registrar."

      Verisign cannot do that anymore since they no longer operate a registrar (Network Solutions was spun-off/sold-off).

        Ok, I didn't know that. What I should investigate is whether the same people that authorized those shady tactics are still in charge there (or whether that culture persists).

  GoDaddy is listed among the issuers of EV certificates on Wikipedia, so don't they offer them? : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Validation_Certificate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Validation_Certificate (I don't know the difference between standard SSL certificates and EV ones)
