: Showing company name in address bar requires SSL EV certificate, or OV also OK? I remember in the past I had to buy an SSL EV certificate (which are much more expensive than regular SSL certificates)

I remember in the past I had to buy an SSL EV certificate (which are much more expensive than regular SSL certificates) to get the company name displaying next to the green lock in the address bar.

I am about to renew a few certificates and I now see many SSL issuers also offer 'SSL OV' (Organization Validation) certificates.

The description says "light business authentication". Would that also show the company name in the address bar?

Note that I don't actually care about verification or authentication or insurance whatsoever. Don't need wildcard either. I just want SSL with the company name in the address bar.
