The internet has become all-encompassing today and increasingly people are turning towards the internet for any and all information they require. However with millions of websites around, it is extremely tough to distinguish reliable sites from the fraudulent ones.

Of late, phishing scams and other types of online frauds have been increasing and the brunt of these have been borne by customers. As a result people are constantly in the search of better identity solutions for websites. This is where usefulness of verified domains comes in.

Today almost all customers to an e-commerce websites will first check if they can trust that particular website. To inculcate this trust, the website needs to get itself verified; this means a trusted third-party must verify the domain and the website and confirm that it is who it claims it is.

Digital SSL certificates are one such method of generating trust in customers towards your website. The “lock” icon depicts that your website is a secure one; however it doesn’t confirm that your website and thereby you are who you claim to be. Additionally SSL certificates are not always relevant to all business and websites. Many informational and company websites don’t need encryption.

One such authority is GeoTrust, the leading SSL Certification Authority. Drawing upon their expertise in website security certification, GeoTrust also provides nearly foolproof domain verification services.
