EssentialSSL Wildcard cetificate is a great value for money for small and medium sized businesses. The cerificate is domain validated which means it is usually issued in minutes**. Because it is a wildcard certificate, you can secure unlimited number of subdomains of the same domain name quick and easy. An EssentialSSL Wildcard certificate issued to *.yourdomain.com is valid for:
- www.yourdomain.com
- secure.yourdomain.com
- mail.yourdomain.com, etc.
Requirements
To make the certificate issuance process faster, you also need to ensure that you have correct contact information on WHOIS for your domain, have a dedicated IP address (can be ordered at your web host), and a CSR generated on your web server for your domain name.
Disclaimer
* SSL certificates must be installed on your web server. Therefore, an end-to-end SSL installation support is possible only in cases where the domain is hosted at Namecheap.com. If the domain is hosted with any other provider, please contact their support for assistance with CSR generation and SSL installation.
** Selected orders can be flagged for an additional "Brand Validation" procedure by Certificate Authority. This is a necessary security measure. If the order is flagged for "Brand Validation", SSL issuance can be delayed for a time period deemed necessary by the Certificate Authority.
