I am planning to buy EV SSL next week but I see NC is offering this OV SSL, is it extended EV SSL and can be used for multi domain names? I want to know what is the difference between EV and OV SSL?

EV certificate will also show the name of the company or organization in the address bar itself, and the address bar is displayed in green.

OV is an business validated certificate. The issuer verifies the actual business which wants to use the SSL certificate. The EV is also organization validated, but comes with a Green Bar.

Go to the website of any SSL certificates issues and compare products.

OV SSL is superior to DV SSL, reason is Certificate Authority will ask applicant to provide proof that his legal and registered organization along with domain ownership verification, in which WhoIs record will be matched. OV SSL provides dynamic site trusted seal. You can see company details, When you click on seal. Generally, Certificate Authority takes 3 days or less for issuance of OV SSL.

Extended Validation SSL is superior to OV SSL, EV SSL can be issued through strict validation process to provide highest level of authentication. if website is secured with EV SSL certificate, then online visitors can see a green address bar, Company name display before domain URL in order to build customer trust and increases conversion rate. Certificate Authority takes up to 7 days to issue EV SSL.

A single EV SSL Certificate can be used to secure up to 100 multiple domain names or subdomains.

OV SSL are just more expensive than DV, because you can get a dynamic site trusted seal with a DV certificate, and it require to check the certificates details to be able to see if a website SSL certificate is a DV or an OV.
But all EV certificates don't support SAN, and the first prices will only secure a single domain. Additionally with an EV certificate with SAN support enabled, it require to pay for each additonal subdomain.
