Budget-friendly HTTPS Protection for Sub-Domains
An Essential SSL Wildcard Certificate issued by Sectigo is a budget-friendly, domain-validated SSL/TLS certificate. It allows you to secure a primary domain (e.g., example.com) and an unlimited number of first-level subdomains (e.g., mail.example.com, shop.example.com and more) using just a single certificate.
As its DV based SSL, it is issued in minutes via email or DNS-based verification. A Wildcard certificate is future proof. If your development or marketing team decides to launch a new section of your website next month (e.g., testing.example.com ), you don't need to purchase or wait for a new certificate to be issued. Since it's a Wildcard certificate, the most important detail is using an asterisk (*) during the initial setup to ensure it covers all your subdomains.
