Hello, I am confused about whether a multi-domain SSL certificate can secure primary domains and subdomains. Can anyone clarify this for me?

Yes, a Multi-Domain SSL Certificate (also known as a Unified Communications Certificate or Subject Alternative Name Certificate) can protect both main domains and subdomains. This type of certificate allows you to protect multiple domains using a single SSL certificate.
When you purchase a multi-domain SSL certificate, you can specify multiple domain names (including primary domains and subdomains) in a single certificate. This is convenient because you can secure all your domains using one certificate, making it easier to manage and renew SSL certificates.
When requesting a multi-domain SSL certificate from a vendor or certificate authority (CA), you usually need to provide a list of domain names you want to protect. When the certificate is issued, it will apply to all the specified domains, including the primary domains and all subdomains.

Yes, a multi-domain SSL certificate allows you to protect multiple domains and subdomains with a single certificate. This means you can protect both your main website (eg www.example.com) and all subdomains (eg blog.example.com) with a single SSL certificate. This simplifies administration and reduces costs compared to separate certificates for each domain or subdomain.

A Multi-Domain SSL certificate is a type of SSL certificate that can secure multiple websites on a single IP, including subdomains of a main website name or completely different domain names. If you have any queries kindly ask to Technical support.

Yes, a multi-domain SSL certificate may secure numerous domains with a single certificate. Businesses and people who want to protect multiple websites or pages with a single SSL certificate should look at this type of certificate. Putting all of your names under one certificate can make managing them and renewing them easier, which will save you time and effort.
