This is a type of Standard SSL certificate at Gandi, and so it is ideal for protecting websites that do not perform financial transactions. The Wildcard Standard SSL certificate lets you secure a domain name and all its current and/or future subdomains.
Unlike the Single-address Standard SSL certificates, the Wildcard version lets you secure more than one address on a domain name. For example:
www.example.comadmin.example.comphotos.example.comvideos.example.comforum.example.com
www.example.com and www.example.net), then you would want to choose one of our Multi-domain certificates, as opposed to a Wildcard certificate.
example.com and *.example.com ; but it does not secure higher levels such as *.*.example.com and so on. To cover say *.sub.example.com, you will need to buy another Wildcard certificate. To cover www.sub.example.com, you will need to buy another Single-address certificate.
