Overview:
Thawte SSL Webserver Wildcard is an easy, affordable solution if you need to secure
multiple fully qualified domains that share the same base domain name, reside on
the same physical server, and share the same second level domain name.
For example, if you need to secure the following type of domains:
- www.yourdomain.com
- secure.yourdomain.com
- product.yourdomain.com
- info.yourdomain.com
- download.yourdomain.com
- anything.yourdomain.com
All of these Web Sites are hosted on the same server box. You can purchase and install
one Wildcard certificate issued to your domain’s .com that secures all these sites.
The Thawte Wildcard Certificate offers comprehensive authentication procedures,
including domain name and identity verification. It also offers 256-, 128-, 56-,
or 40-bit encryption depending on your client’s browser capability and the cipher
suite installed on your Web server. This ensures that information is kept private
between your Web server and your client’s Web browsers.
Note: Unfortunately, it is not possible to secure a 2 letter domain name (ex. *.ue.com)
or a 3 letter domain name (ex. *.you.com). You will be required to add 2 additional
characters to the common name when generating the CSR for a 2 letter domain name
(ex. *.uexx.com) and 1 additional character for a 3 letter domain name (*.youx.com).
Once the order is in our system, our Customer Service department will remove these
additional characters and issue it to the correct domain name.
