All About Wildcard SSL

A Wildcard SSL Certificate enables SSL encryption on multiple subdomains using a single certificate. Subdomains on the certificate must all share the same primary domain.

For instance, example.com, www.example.com, blog.example.com, store.example.com and billing.example.com could all be secured using the same wildcard SSL, as they all use the same primary domain. However, billing.yoursitesdomain.com could not be used with this certificate, as it is using a different primary domain.

Comodo SSL

A Small Orange offers SSL certificates from Comodo, providing a range of options to secure and protect your sites.

Subdomain Reissuing for Comodo

Each time you wish to have an additional subdomain load securely with https, the virtual host entries for the subdomain need to be added manually by our administrators. This is true even for new subdomains created through cPanel.
