Wildcard SSL Certificate

SSL Certificate Options

A single Wildcard SSL Certificate to secure multiple Web Sites

Save time, administration and money by adding the Wildcard SSL option. Typically a standard secure server SSL Certificate is issued to a single Fully Qualified Domain Name only, which means it can only be used on the exact domain (including sub-domain) to which it has been issued. With the Wildcard SSL option activated you easily get around this restriction by receiving a Wildcard SSL Certificate issued to *.domain.com. The * character replaces a "fixed" sub-domain with a "variable" one.

To have the Wildcard SSL option added to your SSL Certificate, select Wildcard SSL at the appropriate time during the ordering process.

Customer Notes:
There are no limitations on how many sub-domains can be created and secured by a single Wildcard SSL Certificate. Make sure you create a CSR with a common name of *.yourdomain.com.
If you plan to use the Wildcard SSL Certificate to secure sites accessed by mobile devices, please contact Support for advice on mobile support for Wildcard SSL technology.
