Major Points To Certify Any Legitimate Website

Today Internet makes everything possible. We are totally dependent on the Internet as the scope of Internet is endless. Whether any financial matter like online transactions or social networking by connecting with other people globally or something else, we always use Internet. Further there are many types of online business running on the Internet where earning potential is very much available. While surfing on Internet and visiting so many websites, we have to be very careful in all respects. Many times, it is required to sign up in the visiting website and become a member. During the registration process, we have to furnish all our personal as well as professional details. It is very necessary that we should first confirm the legitimacy of any website as many online scams are running through many fraud websites. We should make sure to visit the legitimate website by taking some extra steps. With the help of these steps, we can save our time, personal information and safety of computer.




While visiting any website, we should find the details of any website with the help of search engines like organization or business name or address or their contact number. We can directly contact the organization and verify the contact information. By showing their contact information on the website, it is proving that they have not hidden anything and can be located anytime.



We should confirm the security certificates of the website which we are visiting. Just check the “padlock” icon in the Internet browser which indicates that the website is secure to visit. We can further check the security of the website in the URL address. If there is an “https” before the domain address, then we can say that the website is secure as the “s” is indicating the extra security feature to the website. We can also check any third party logo on the website.



We should check that the website is holding an Extended Validation (EV) Certificate (digital certificate) which can be useful for a browser to identify the genuine website. This certificate sometimes reflects on the green color on the browser address position.



Before registering on the website, we should do some research about the website in the different reviews available online. These reviews are very helpful and give us a fair idea about the website. All these reviews are originally written by the users which give us a fair idea about the product or website .



By following the above steps, we can ensure to visit only legitimate websites.
