One certificate. Every subdomain. Wildcard SSL secures your main domain and an unlimited number of first-level subdomains under one certificate. Buy *.obhost.net once — and blog., shop., mail., app., and any future subdomain are all protected automatically.
A Wildcard SSL certificate uses an asterisk (*) in the domain field to secure your main domain and an unlimited number of its first-level subdomains — all under one single certificate. Instead of buying a separate SSL for every subdomain, one Wildcard SSL covers them all.
For example, a Wildcard SSL for *.obhost.net automatically protects www, blog, shop, mail, app, api, and any other subdomain you create — including new ones added after the certificate is issued.
Wildcard SSL certificates are available with Domain Validation (DV) and Organization Validation (OV), giving you flexibility in the level of trust you want alongside your subdomain coverage.

View EV SSLA Wildcard SSL certificate uses an asterisk (*) as a wildcard character in the subdomain position of the Common Name field — for example, *.yourdomain.com. Any subdomain that fits this pattern — blog.yourdomain.com, shop.yourdomain.com, mail.yourdomain.com — is automatically covered by the same certificate.
You only need to install the Wildcard certificate once on your server. The certificate's wildcard character instructs browsers to trust all matching subdomains. The main domain itself (yourdomain.com) is also covered alongside all subdomains.
Note: Wildcard SSL covers only first-level subdomains — sub.yourdomain.com is covered, but deep.sub.yourdomain.com (a second-level subdomain) is not. For multi-level coverage, consider a Multi-Domain SSL.
Many website owners secure their main domain but forget that every subdomain without its own SSL shows a "Not Secure" warning to visitors. A single unsecured subdomain can undermine the trust you've built across your entire brand.
A Wildcard SSL certificate solves this completely. Every subdomain — your blog, shop, API, mail, app — shows the padlock and HTTPS. One certificate, one renewal, total peace of mind across your entire domain infrastructure.
Everything about Wildcard SSL — how it works, what's covered, and when to choose it.
