We know how challenging\u2014not to mention expensive\u2014it can be to try and keep track of multiple SSL Certificates, possibly bought from different providers, issued by different Certificate Authorities (CAs) and all expiring at different times. Not to worry\u2014there are solutions specifically designed to simplify your life and save you money. Before we dive into these solutions, let\u2019s cover a few basics.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong><b>Domains vs. Sub-domains<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In case you\u2019re not familiar with this terminology, having multiple domains means you have multiple root domains, such as:<\/p>\n<p>www.yourdomain.<strong><b>com<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>www.yourdomain.<strong><b>org<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>www.yourdomain.<strong><b>net<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sub-domains\u00a0are part of a larger domain, for example:<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>mail<\/b><\/strong>.yourdomain.com<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>members<\/b><\/strong>.yourdomain.com<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>ftp<\/b><\/strong>.yourdomain.com<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Wildcard Certificates<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A Wildcard Certificate allows you to cover an unlimited number of sub-domains all with just one certificate.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Simply put an asterisk in front of your domain name on your CSR. Wildcards save you money and simplify SSL management. They grow with your organization and allow you to secure any new sub-domains you add in the future. Wildcards also enable always-on SSL, so your visitors enjoy a secure experience across your entire website.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Multi-domain Certificates<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A Multi-domain Certificate makes it easy and affordable to protect up to 100 additional domains<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>with a single certificate. Also referred to as SAN Certificates (Subject Alternative Name), they\u2019re a good fit for securing different domains, UC environments, internal IP addresses and more.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Simply fill out a SAN for every additional domain you wish to cover. Multi-domain Certificates offer more flexibility than Wildcards as they\u2019re not limited to the same domain or number of levels. They\u2019re available in all three validation types: Domain Validation (DV), Organization Validation (OV) and Extended Validation (EV).<strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Multi-Domain Wildcard SSL<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>So, what if you have both multiple domains\u00a0and\u00a0multiple sub-domains?\u00a0That\u2019s what the Multi-Domain Wildcard is for. It can secure multiple domains along with an unlimited number of\u00a0sub-domains\u00a0and, depending on the brand, up to 25 or 100 all on a single certificate. Available in both DV and OV, these certificates save you significant time and money.<\/p>\n<h3>Regardless of what you need to secure, we\u2019ll find the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tremhost.com\/ssl.html\"><u>SSL Certificate option that&#8217;s right for you<\/u><\/a><strong><b>.<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>Go ahead\u2014keep growing.
