What is Wildcard SSL Certificate?
A wildcard SSL certificate is a type of SSL certificate that secures a main domain and all its first-level subdomains with a single certificate. For example, a wildcard certificate for *.example.com can secure blog.example.com, shop.example.com, and mail.example.com.
It is important to note that Wildcard SSL certificates are available only in two validation levels: Domain Validated and Organization Validated. There are no wildcard SSL certs for extended validation.
What is the difference between SSL and Wildcard SSL?
The primary distinction is in the websites that they protect. Since Standard SSL Certificates cover your website's WWW and non-WWW versions, encrypts just one domain All three levels of validation, including EV, are available for single-domain SSL certificates.
Wildcards, on the other hand, protect websites with several sub-domains. Place an asterisk (*) at the domain level you want to encrypt when creating your certificate signing request during the purchasing process. Examples are *.example.com.
At that sub-domain level, communications on any sub-domain can then be secured using the SSL certificate. As an illustration, consider blog.example.com, support.example.com, etc. You can have as many subdomains as possible. Wildcards Certs are available only at DV and OV level not EV.
What is Wildcard vs Multi-domain SSL?
Wildcard SSL secures a primary domain and its subdomains and allows the addition/removal of subdomains anytime. Multi-Domain SSL secures multiple domains (or subdomains if you list them as SANs), and the names of all the domains/subdomains that you want to secure must be provided when the certificate is purchased. Multi-Domain SSL is cheaper and comes in all three validation types (DV, OV, and EV), while Wildcard SSL only comes in DV and OV types.
For example, a *.example.com Wildcard SSL can protect the domain and every first-level subdomain, like top.example.com, ssl.example.com, etc. With a Multi-domain SSL certificate, you can secure www.example.com, SSL.example.com, www.examplessl.in, www.examplesite.org, etc.
