Wildcard SSL securing your E-commerce

SSL is a reliable medium to secure online business. It provides encryption to data that flow between browser and owner's site. It boosts trust in customers about monetary transaction. There are different types of SSL certificates, e.g. code-signing certificate, EV certificate, cheap SSL certificate, Wildcard certificate. Among them Wildcard SSL certificate is a cost saving certificate because of it secures numerous sub-domains of a single domain.
         
As we saw that Wildcard SSL certificate secures multiple domains, and all domains are controlled by a single organization. A certificate issued to company with general name like ("*.CompanyXYZ.com") can secure the sub-domains like login.companyxyz.com, payment.companyxyz.com, support.companyxyz.com. Secure Sockets Layer certificates often apply Wildcards to extend SSL encryption to sub domains. If you extend a single certificate to sub domains rather than purchasing separate certificates, then you can save money.
       
Wildcard Certificate secures multiple sub-domains of a single domain hence it decrease the cost of getting multiple certificates. Wildcard certificate offers an easy certificate deployment facility on your browser so owner does not have to deploy every single certificate. From the point of cost Wildcard is a best solution hence owner requires no extra cost to purchase single certificate. The drawback of Wildcard certificate is window mobile versions do not recognize it and the sub-domain sometimes may face vulnerability.
        
Wildcard Certificate requires a single day for issuance. It validates identity of organization and domain. When owner install certificate on his site it shows organization's name and domain name in certificate. It comes with 256-bit encryption and compatible with 99% browsers and provides a warranty range from $2000 to $1000000.
