Yeah, company's name displayed -- individuals cannot apply for EVSSL certs.this isn't really a benefit though, is it? isn't the domain-name in the location bar doing the same thing?
No. As a counter example... How may domain names do Wells Fargo and Citibank (Citi Corp? Citi Group?) operate respectively? I'm a customer, and I can't keep it straight. Companies that wrap their services with generic domain names (paymybills.com and the like) have no one to blame but themselves when they are targeted by scammers and phishing schemes. Even EV certificates don't help when consumers are blinded by subsidiary companies and sister companies daily (Motorola Mobility a.k.a. Google vs. Motorola Solutions.)
