Which domains are supported by Wildcard SSL Certificates?

A Wildcard SSL Certificate, also known as a wildcard SSL certificate or pan-domain SSL certificate, supports securing one primary domain and its lower-level subdomains, enabling HTTPS encryption for one primary domain and all its subdomains.

Wildcard SSL certificates support Domain Validation (DV) and Organization Validation (OV) types, but do not support Extended Validation (EV) type.

Note

All types of wildcard certificates can be validated via email.
