The cheapest cert you will only get your domain name in it, this is the only difference I could find in the type of certificates, but in question of encryption they are all the same thing, bottom line is: all cheap certs are DV you don't get your name in it. | |

It can be quite fast as long as you've entered your organization details correctly when ordering the certificate, your domain registration details matches, and you're in a country with a business database or QIIS API that the CA has integrated their automated checking process. Even phone validation is usually by a robot caller. The slowest part of OV is usually the customer themselves, for CAs that have automated a lot of their processes. | |

| Dec 1, 2015 at 14:14 | comment | added | StackzOfZtuff | Huh. Intersting. But Comodo also writes: Issued online in minutes – automated validation means - No paperwork - No faxes - No delay -- I wonder what validation other than DV would actually be done. | |
