RapidSSL Wildcard Certificates

A RapidSSL® Wildcard Certificate is an excellent, cost-effective solution for businesses or website owners looking to secure their primary domain and an unlimited number of subdomains under a single SSL certificate. With a Wildcard SSL certificate, you can secure both your primary domain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com) and all associated subdomains (e.g., sub1.yourdomain.com, sub2.yourdomain.com) with strong encryption—offering robust protection for your website’s visitors and safeguarding sensitive data like customer transactions.

Key Features of RapidSSL Wildcard Certificates:

1. Cost-Effective for Multiple Subdomains Wildcard certificates allow you to secure unlimited subdomains on the same primary domain with just one SSL certificate. This reduces both the complexity and cost of managing SSL security for different subdomains, making it a scalable solution for growing businesses.
2. Strong Encryption RapidSSL Wildcard Certificates provide up to 256-bit SSL encryption and 2048-bit CSR encryption, ensuring that your visitors’ data is fully protected against malicious threats and attacks. This high-level encryption is a standard in the industry, ensuring that all communications between your website and users remain private and secure.
3. Automated Validation Domain Control Validation (DCV) makes the issuance process fast and seamless. You can quickly set up your Wildcard SSL certificate without the need for extensive paperwork or delays.
4. Browser Compatibility RapidSSL Wildcard Certificates offer 99% browser compatibility, ensuring that your site is trusted by nearly all desktop and mobile browsers—including older versions like Internet Explorer 5.01+, Netscape 4.7+, and Mozilla 1+.

Simplified SSL Management

Using a Wildcard SSL certificate simplifies SSL management, allowing you to configure a single certificate to secure all subdomains. For example, the certificate configured for *.yourdomain.com can secure:

• www.yourdomain.com
• blog.yourdomain.com
• shop.yourdomain.com

By leveraging this technology, you eliminate the need to purchase and manage separate certificates for each subdomain—making it an affordable and easy-to-manage option for companies with multiple online properties under the same domain.
