Wildcard certificates can save you time and money in acquiring and managing multiple server certificates. Wildcard certificates can secure multiple fully qualified domains if they share the same base domain name and reside on the same physical server and share the same second level domain name.
For example, if you need to secure the following websites:
- www.yourdomain.com
- secure.yourdomain.com
- product.yourdomain.com
- info.yourdomain.com
- download.yourdomain.com
- anything.yourdomain.com
and all of these websites are hosted on the same server box, you can purchase and install one wildcard certificate issued to *.yourdomain.com to secure all these sites. The number of sub domains that you can use the wildcard certificate to secure is unlimited, for example, the same certificate can be used every time you add a new sub domain to yourdomain.com. If you need to span the wildcard certificate across multiple physical servers, you may purchase additional licenses.
