Domain Validation - Validates domain is registered and someone with admin rights is aware of and approves the certificate request.

A Domain Validation certificate ensures that your data is transferred with the secure encryption technology between the visitor's web-browser and your website, making them the perfect choice for SSL encryption on a budget.

Organization Validation - Validates domain ownership, plus organization information included in the certificate (name, city, state, country).

Verifiable legal entities can be either a business or an individual. Organization validation certificates therefore help ensure that data is securely sent over the Internet to a trusted entity.

Extended Validation - Validates domain ownership and organization information, plus legal existence of the organization and that the organization is aware of and approves the request.

Verifiable legal entities can be either a business or an individual. Full validation certificates therefore help ensure that data is securely sent over the Internet to a trusted entity.
