Wildcard certificates work the same way as a regular SSL Certificate, allowing you to secure the connection between your website and your customer’s Internet browser – with one major advantage. A single Wildcard SSL Certificate covers any and all of the sub-domains of your main domain.

If you have multiple sub-domains to secure, then a Wildcard SSL Certificate purchase can save you hundreds or thousands vs the cost of buying individual SSL certificates.

For example a single Wildcard certificate for *.domain.com can be used to secure:

* From January 1st 2015, in accordance with the amended Directive 2006/112/EC, prices inclusive of VAT may vary depending on the country of residence of the customer (by default, the prices displayed are exclusive of the PL VAT in force).

Wildcard SSL Certificates – Will allow you to be able to have protection for unlimited amounts of subdomains on a domain name with one IP address. This includes the primary domain as well. It means that you can apply just one certificate to a whole website and save time and money. It is a cheap and convenient solution and much easier to manage than having one certificate for each subdomain.
