RapidSSL Wildcard Certificate

If you are managing multiple subdomains under your main domain, the RapidSSL Wildcard Certificate provides robust flexibility and coverage. With a single certificate, you can secure your primary domain (e.g., yourwebsite.com) and an unlimited number of subdomains (e.g., blog.yourwebsite.com, shop.yourwebsite.com). This eliminates the need to handle multiple certificates for different subdomains, simplifying the management and renewal process.

Key features include:

Wildcard Coverage: Protects your primary domain and all associated subdomains.
Domain Validation (DV): Quick issuance with straightforward validation.
Ease of Management: Simplifies the process of securing multiple subdomains.
Unlimited Reissues: Flexibility to reissue as needed during the certificate’s lifespan.

This certificate is best suited if you have a website with subdomain-heavy structures, such as an eCommerce platform, and want a convenient way to authenticate and encrypt everything at once.

What our Customers say...

Trevor Hart

Very happy with the service from SSLTrust! I had to organise a code signing certificate with a hardware token. Having somewhere local made the process much smoother for verification. Support is also very quick to answer which is a great change!

Anthony Fielding

Paul from SSLTrust came to my rescue after another supplier let me down due to horrendous support and a useless certificate. Paul took the time to understand my requirements and he held my hand through every step of the process. Now my application is code signed. It was a breeze and my confidence in the process is restored. Thank you.
