How can I show the company name (author of the certificate) instead of the plain "https" in the browser url input?
As said in comment above, the certificate you look for is SSL Certificate with Extended Validation (EV), which validates Domain ownership as well as Company identity.
This kind of SSL certificate is offered by quite a lot Certificate Authorities, such as Verisign and GoDaddy.

When I try to invoke a get request via URL in the browser (no matter what the browser is), this is the response I got.
This error has was given because my request is an http request where the service deployed in the server uses https (deployed in an https port)

Ours is a educational website collegesearch.in which is HTTPS secured. We are loosing our desktop traffic because we get error like untrusted certificate on public domain networks and also some of the antiviruses block our website as well. There is no issue with our certificate and they are issued by CSA and are not self-signed.
We understand some of the pages may include mixed content like stuffed http links, which we identify and remove but this itself does not seem to be the reason of traffic drop.
We have 75% mobile users and only ~20% of desktop, while our competitors have 40% of desktop users and they are http websites. This makes us think that using HTTPS has become ironically a problem.
My question is What makes antiviruses block HTTPS website?
Why we get untrusted certicate error?
Anything that can help here...
The site collegesearch.in:
is using a self-signed certificate and thus is not trusted by default by any browsers
on top of this the certificate is expired
on top of this the name in the certificate does not match the URL
on top of that you are offering insecure ciphers
For more details see the SSLLabs report.
Interestingly, www.collegesearch.in is setup in a different way although it still offers some weak ciphers.
It looks like that you are trying to deal with the badly setup collegesearch.in by redirecting users to www.collegesearch.in. But, for the redirect to work the user is first confronted with the bad certificate from collegesearch.in which he must accept before the browsers continues with the HTTP request which then results in the redirect to www.collegesearch.in. To fix this you need to have a proper certificate setup not only for www.collegesearch.in but also collegesearch.in.

I have been looking everywhere but still confused with the "green color" https. Just the https and not the name as shown in websites like paypal.
I found this website selling for $20 USD per year: http://www.bigrock.in/digital-ssl-certificate/ and i'm wondering if this is enough to get my URL change to "https" and in "green" color from the ordinary http://
Thanks and regards.
depends on browser but some of these use https as there reason for green other use standards. it just depends but is most browsers if all the content is https you will get the green label
You are probably talking about Extended Validation (EV) certificate. The difference between normal SSL certificate and EV certificate is in the validation process that the requester must complete before CA issues the certificate. There are other minor differences like more information in Subject of EV certificate but the validation process is the main reason why it is considered a stronger certificate.
There are CAs that issue normal SSL certificates for free like StartSSL. The catch is that revocation is not free and if you loose private key and want to revoke the SSL certificate then you need to pay.
Other initiative that starter recently is Let's Encrypt. It should be totally free but they are not operational yet (Q4/2015).

I'm new to all the ssl stuff.
Is it possible to have an SSL Certificate from different SSL Certificate provider than my hosting company or the hosting and SSL Certificate must come from the same company?
For example, if I host a site in Godaddy, do I must get the SSL Certificate from then (Goddady) as well? or I can do it through some other cheaper SSL Certificate provider?
If it's possible to have SSL Certificate not from the Hosting provider, I would be happy to have a reference by links or something...
Thanks in advance.

Yes.
Or the hosting and SSL Certificate must come from the same company?
No.

In many instances, you can get a free Class 1 server certificate Startcom or CAcert. The certificates are trusted by most desktop and mobile browsers. Class 1's are domain validated via email and don't allow wildcards. If you need a wildcard, then you'll have to purchase a Class 2 or higher. Startcom and CAcert charge for revocation, if needed.

I just started today with worklight and try to connect a RESTFul API. The server (which I don't own) I would like to reach use ssl with a self-signed certificate. I imported the certificate in my cacert following the procedure defined in the worklight documentation.
Now, I have the following error when I try the RESTFul API:
"errors": [ "Runtime: Http request failed: javax.net.ssl.SSLException:
hostname in certificate didn't match:
In many http java implementation there is a way to disable the hostname verification but don't find it how to do it when using worklight.
Any tip?
As this question has been close because it is off topic, could you tell me where I post questions and get support on IBM Worklight?
Many Thanks
See this article regardin self signed certificates.
