RE: Wildcards in QuickSSL Certs

HI Adam,

The QuickSSL doesn't allow wildcards.

For securing *.vguild.com, you may want to consider the TrueBusiness
Wildcard:
http://resellers.tucows.com/opensrs/certificates/techspecs#trubizwild

Yes, the TrueBusiness Wildcard is slightly more expensive than the QuickSSL,
but it also provides you with the room to grow, especially if you are
planning to secure multiple sub-domains off the same base domain.

The Geotrust wildcard allows you to secure *unlimited* number of
sub-domains, as long at they are 1) on the same server and 2) under the same
base domain.

Let us know if you have further questions.

Does QuickSSL allow wildcards?

i.e.
CN=*.vguild.com

opposed to:
CN=www.vguild.com

Has anyone tried it?
