Multi-Domain SAN SSL Certificate

Starting on 1/09/2020 SSL/TLS certificates cannot be issued for longer than 13 months (397 days). Any SSL certificate bought after this date will have the new term length applied and those bought before will be grandfathered in. For more information check out this blog article that goes into more detail around the term change and GoDaddy’s response.

A Subject Alternative Names (SAN) SSL Certificate secures multiple websites with different domain names – for example, LilysBikes.com, LilysBikeShop.com and Lilys.bike.

These certificates are often used by businesses that maintain related websites under different domain names. Those who don't want the sites to appear “connected” to each other should not use this type of certificate. Plus, our SAN Certificate covers unlimited server licenses. SAN Certificates can be used with shared hosting.

• SSL stands for “Secure Socket Layer" and is a cryptographic protocol that uses explicit connections to establish secure communication between web server and client.
• TLS stands for “Transport Layer Security” — it’s the successor of SSL protocol and is also a cryptographic protocol providing secure communication between web server and client via implicit connections.

Both SSL certificate and TLS certificate essentially mean the same thing — digital certificates that authenticate the server and facilitate the process to create a secure connection via HTTPS.

Anyone who has more than one website to protect should consider a SAN Certificate. It's more time (and cost-effective) than buying separate SSL certificates for each website.

SAN or multi-domain SSLs are ideal for environments such as Microsoft Exchange Server when you need to secure multiple websites with different domain names.

For anyone who has more than one website, it costs less to buy one SAN Certificate to protect them all than to buy a separate SSL Certificate for each website. You'll also spend less time setting up a single SSL.

Yes. Let's say you only have 4 websites you want to protect when you buy your SAN Certificate. Then you create another one. Simply change the number on your SSL dashboard, and then do a free reissue. Details

Our standard SAN SSL Certificate covers up to five websites. You can secure more websites for a fee in increments of five. For example, a single SAN SSL can protect up to 5 sites, 10 sites, 15 sites, etc. The maximum number of websites that can be secured by one SAN SSL is 100.

We offer a complete range of SSL certificates that comply with CA/Browser Forum guidelines. All our certificates feature:

• SHA-2 hash algorithm and 2048-bit encryption.
• Outstanding security support.
• 30-day money-back guarantee.¹
