What is a Wildcard Secure SSL Certificate?
A Wildcard SSL Certificate secures your site and all of your sub-domains. The Wildcard SSL Certificate works the same as a regular SSL Certificate and undergoes the same validation processes and is available as both a Turbo certificate or High-Assurance certificate. The difference is, the Wildcard SSL Certificate extends to all of the sub-domains of your domain. A Wildcard Secure Certificate: * Secures unlimited sub-domains that share the same base domain and server, like www.domainname.com; shop.domainname.com; register.domainname.com, etc. * Verifies that you met the thorough approval it takes to be issued the certificate. * Proves that transactions with your site (like information exchange, or purchases) are secure and 128-bit encrypted with industry-standard SSL (secure sockets layer) technology. * Most importantly, it tells customers that they can do business with you safely because their sensitive information is encrypted and remains private.
