Editor to share with you what are the differences between multi-domain ssl certificates and wildcard ssl certificates. I hope you will gain a lot after reading this article. Let's discuss the methods together.

Many friends who have contact with Internet knowledge will know the existence of ssl certificate. Ssl certificate is equivalent to the electronic business certificate of the website, which can not only protect the security of users' information and data, but also greatly maintain the credibility of the website. I believe many people also know that according to its security level, ssl certificate can be divided into domain name ssl certificate, enterprise ssl certificate and enhanced SSL certificate, but few people know that ssl certificate can also be divided according to the number of domain names.

According to the number of domain names, SSL certificates can be divided into single domain name ssl certificate, wildcard SSL certificate and multi-domain name ssl certificate. The difference between a single domain name ssl certificate and a multi-domain name ssl certificate can be seen intuitively, that is, a single domain name ssl certificate can only match one domain name, while a multi-domain name ssl certificate can match multiple domain names. However, it is obviously a wildcard ssl certificate that can match multiple domain name addresses. What is the difference between a ssl certificate and a multi-domain name certificate?

If a wildcard ssl certificate is to be deployed in multiple domain names at the same time, these domain names must meet the requirements of a certain sub-domain name. What does this mean? Suppose an enterprise deploys a ssl certificate for its domain name xx.domain.com, and if they want to use the wildcard SSL certificate to complete the deployment of other domain names, then the other domain names they deploy must contain the subdomain name domain.com of the original primary domain name before they can complete the deployment of other domain names.

Unlike wildcard ssl certificates, the deployment of multi-domain name SSL certificates is not limited by sub-domain name conditions and can be deployed to multiple domain names that are completely different. Although it seems that the domain name ssl certificate will be more powerful, the process of applying for a multi-domain name ssl certificate is cumbersome and inconvenient to manage, so many enterprises prefer to choose a wildcard ssl certificate, which is the difference between a wildcard SSL certificate and a multi-domain ssl certificate.

After reading this article, I believe you have a certain understanding of the difference between multi-domain name ssl certificate and wildcard ssl certificate. Want to know more about it. Welcome to follow the industry information channel. Thank you for your reading!
