A Wildcard SSL Certificate secures your Web site URL and all of its sub-domains. The Wildcard SSL Certificate works the same way as a regular SSL certificate, undergoes the same validation processes, and is available as either an SSL or a Deluxe certificate. The difference is that the Wildcard SSL Certificate extends to all of the sub-domains of your domain –"www.domainnamehere.com," "shop.domainnamehere.com," "register.domainnamehere.com," etc.
