What is the difference? The way they show on the screen shots on the order page is that Standard and Premium SSL example websites are both showing the padlocks icons with https:// however the address bar of the website with the Standard certificate is white while the address bar of website with the premium certificate is green. So how come the padlock is shown but the address bar is not green? (I hope the padlock does not come from the .ico file :lala:). Are there going to be any warnings displayed in the case of such standard certificate?

The standard certificate should not show any security warnings. Both certificates provide an encrypted secure site if installed correctly. The address bar turning green on the premium certificate is just an added feature showing that extra precautions were taken to identify the certificate owner's legitimacy. The standard certificate is issued within minutes where the premium certificate may take longer because the certificate authority goes further to verify your providing a legit address, business name, etc. The premium ssl cert also provides in increased warranty/insurance amount in the event that anything does go wrong.
