Certificates get shorter in 2026
From 24 February 2026 the industry cuts the maximum life of a public SSL certificate from 397 to 199 days, under the CA/Browser Forum rules. It is a security win: short-lived certificates are much harder to abuse if a key ever leaks. Your multi-year price here does not change. We simply reissue the certificate for you at each interval, so you stay covered without lifting a finger.
What the asterisk covers
*.example.com matches one label: every direct subdomain, no matter how many you add.
Covered
www.example.com, mail.example.com, shop.example.com and the apex example.com itself on most brands.
Added tomorrow
staging.example.com spun up next year is covered the moment DNS resolves. No reissue, no new order.
Not covered
Deeper levels like a.b.example.com need a wildcard for *.b.example.com or a SAN entry.
How it works
- 1
Order with a wildcard CSR
Generate the CSR with *.example.com as the common name, or let us prepare it for you.
- 2
Validate the domain
One DV check for the whole domain by DNS record or email; OV brands add company vetting.
- 3
Deploy everywhere
Install the same bundle on every server and service that hosts a subdomain.
Wildcard SSL questions
Does a wildcard SSL certificate cover the bare domain too?
Yes on the brands we sell: the certificate includes both *.example.com and example.com, so the apex domain is secured without extra entries or a second certificate.
How many servers can use the same wildcard certificate?
As many as you need. Install the certificate and key on every web, mail or API server that serves a subdomain; licensing is unlimited at no extra cost.
Does a wildcard cover sub-subdomains?
No, the asterisk matches one level. a.b.example.com needs a certificate for *.b.example.com or a multi-domain SAN entry.
Is there an EV wildcard certificate?
No CA issues EV wildcards; that is a CA/B Forum restriction. The strongest wildcard validation is OV, like GeoTrust TrueBusinessID or DigiCert Wildcard SSL.
Wildcard or SAN: which fits my setup?
Wildcard for unlimited subdomains of one domain; SAN when different domains share one certificate. Wildcard SANs on multi-domain certificates combine both.
How much does a wildcard SSL certificate cost?
At CloudHosting wildcard SSL starts at 81.41 EUR a year for Sectigo PositiveSSL Wildcard; RapidSSL, GeoTrust and DigiCert cost more. Prices are without VAT, Latvian VAT of 21% applies where relevant, and longer terms lower the average yearly price.
How fast is a wildcard SSL certificate issued?
DV wildcards such as PositiveSSL and RapidSSL are issued in minutes after one domain validation by DNS record or email. OV brands like GeoTrust TrueBusinessID and DigiCert add company vetting, so issuance takes longer.
Do I need a wildcard or is a single-domain SSL enough?
A single-domain certificate covers one hostname such as www.example.com. If you run mail, shop, api or staging subdomains, one wildcard from 81.41 EUR a year is simpler and usually cheaper than separate certificates, and future subdomains are covered automatically.
