Product Difference - No. of Domains field

The 'No. of Domains' dropdown appears only for EV SSL Certificate UCC. It is not present for EV SSL Certificate.

**No. of Domains \*(EV SSL Certificate UCC only)\*** Sets how many domains the certificate will cover. The default and minimum included in the base price is 'Upto 4'. Leave at 'Upto 4' if you need four or fewer domains. Additional domains beyond 4 can be added in Step 5 **Extra SAN note \*(EV SSL Certificate UCC only)\*** A note displayed beneath the Cost field informing you of the per-domain cost for SANs beyond the included base. Note this cost before proceeding. Each extra domain added in Step 5 increases the Grand Total accordingly. ### Certificate Features Panel A blue information panel at the bottom of the screen describes what all EV SSL/TLS certificates include: • Secures Single, Multiple Domains & Sub Domains • Domain & Extended Organization Validation • Average Issuance Timeframe: 1-5 Business Days • Unlimited Server Licenses • Strongest SHA2 & ECC Encryption • Major Browser & Mobile Device Compatibility • Priority Support • Automatic Renewal Reminders and Early Renewal Options
