Gandi's Wildcard Standard SSL Certificates
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.com
admin.example.com
photos.example.com
videos.example.com
forum.example.com
- etc.
If you need to secure various domain names through one certificate, however (eg.
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.
A Wildcard certificate secures the bare domain (apex) and unlimited first-level subdomains:
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.
The Standard SSL Wildcard Certificate includes:
- Gandi certification
- 128/256 Bit encryption
- 99% browser recognition
- Trust logo
- Issued in under 24 hours
- Domain Mismatch Protection
- Secure accented domains
- 60-day money-back guarantee
