Use of Wildcard SSL Certificate

by James Grieg
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol is used to create secure pages by encrypting all transmission between the client and server. It is responsible for improving the effectiveness of the HTTPS protocol and the traditional lock on the protected pages.

The two most common uses for this protocol are in e-commerce pages. The first is when you need to provide a safe environment to complete the transaction and transmit sensitive data. The second is in the creation of secure administrative environments such as those used by most content managers, where you need to access site content , which ensures that you have no need to worry whether other people can capture passwords and other information.

Wildcard SSL Certificate

Now let’s understand the use of Wildcard SSL Certificate. It certifies unlimited sub-dominos on its website with a single Wildcard SSL Certificate. Wildcard certificates are the most cost-effective as they manage multiple domains. They are especially successful when they need safe areas in a domain using sub domains.

With a single certificate, it can help validate as many sub domains as you are using. For example, a wildcard certificate for *. domainname.com can be used for:

  • main.domainname.com

  • maincategory. domainname.com

  • subcategory. domainname.com

So, you can save your time to manage all certificates for sub domains and even save the money as Wildcard SSL Certificate will provide security for all your sub domains with a main domain name.
