How Wildcard SSL works

The asterisk (*) covers any first-level subdomain

*.yourdomain.com
*.yourdomain.com → yourdomain.com
*.yourdomain.com → www.yourdomain.com
*.yourdomain.com → shop.yourdomain.com
*.yourdomain.com → blog.yourdomain.com
*.yourdomain.com → api.yourdomain.com
 sub.shop.yourdomain.com — NOT covered (2nd level)

Frequently asked questions

Unlimited first-level subdomains under one domain. For example *.yourdomain.com covers www, shop, blog, api and any other subdomain you create now or in the future — all under one certificate.
No. *.yourdomain.com covers only first-level subdomains (shop.yourdomain.com), but NOT second-level ones (sub.shop.yourdomain.com). For deeper nesting you need a separate certificate or Multi-Domain SSL.
DV Wildcard: domain verification only, issued in minutes, no documents needed. OV Wildcard: additionally verifies the organization, issued in 1–3 days, requires company documents. Choose DV for blogs/startups, OV for corporate infrastructure and business sites.
Yes. A Wildcard certificate can be installed on multiple servers simultaneously — you just need to copy the certificate and private key. This is convenient for load-balanced infrastructure.
If you need to protect several different domains (site1.com, site2.com, site3.com) — Multi-Domain SSL (SAN) is more suitable, since Wildcard only covers subdomains of a single domain. If all your services are subdomains of one domain — Wildcard is the better choice.
