RapidSSL Wildcard β€” an SSL certificate for all subdomains of a single site

When a site has not only example.com, but also mail.example.com, cp.example.com, shop.example.com, the question of SSL arises quite quickly. Installing a separate certificate for each subdomain is inconvenient and expensive. That's why RapidSSL Wildcard.

This Wildcard SSL certificate, which protects domain and all its subdomains with one solution. Without company verification, without documents and with the simplest issuance procedure.

What is RapidSSL Wildcard in simple terms

RapidSSL Wildcard β€” is a DV SSL certificate (Domain Validation), which is issued after domain ownership confirmation.
Usually, the certificate is activated within 5–15 minutes, if the DNS is configured correctly.

One certificate covers:

  • example.com
  • www.example.com
  • *.example.com (all subdomains)

That's why it is often chosen for projects where there are many subdomains or they are constantly being added.

Why choose Wildcard SSL

In practice, RapidSSL Wildcard is bought not for a 'tick', but for convenience:

  • there's no need to buy SSL for each subdomain
  • one expiration period instead of several
  • easier installation and renewal
  • less risk of forgetting to renew the certificate

If there are 3-4 subdomains or more, Wildcard SSL becomes more cost-effective within the first year.

Security and encryption

RapidSSL uses standard 256-bit SSL encryption, which is supported by all modern browsers and mobile devices.
This level of protection is sufficient for:

  • contact forms
  • user accounts
  • control panels
  • online services
  • corporate websites

This is not an EV or OV certificate, but it is sufficient for most websites. DV Wildcard β€” the optimal balance of price and functionality.

RapidSSL Wildcard and SEO

Search engines explicitly state that an SSL certificate is a basic trust factor.

After installing RapidSSL Wildcard:

  • the 'Not Secure' warnings disappear
  • HTTPS works correctly on all subdomains
  • the website's perception by users improves

  • hosting providers
  • SaaS projects

0002 layer 7

An SSL certificate ensures the protection of transmitted information between the website and the user. All data, including passwords and payment information, is encrypted and protected from interception by third parties.

0003 layer 6

Modern browsers, such as Chrome and Firefox, label sites without SSL as unsafe. Having HTTPS increases visitor trust and improves the perception of your website.

0004 layer 5

You will find instructions on how SSL is a ranking factor in search engines. A secure website earns more trust, positively impacting its Google rankings, traffic, and conversion rates.

We needed a fast solution for a support node for our new project development team. Didn’t have much of an option at that moment, so had to be both fast and precise. We have chosen this company from a big list of Hosting Companies and never even once thought of switching to a new one. Great support, nice technical team, and good environment. Recommend

Been using ProHoster for a bit, does the job without headaches. No sudden crashes, speed is fine, and the control panel isn’t a mess. Support replies when needed, not just with copy-paste answers, and actually helps. Prices are reasonable, no weird surprises in billing, and setup was smooth. If you need hosting that works without drama, this one’s worth checking out.
