Frequently Asked Questions
| What distinguishes GeoTrust Premium Wildcard from budget Wildcard solutions? | ||||||||||
This certificate belongs to the business segment. Key differences include issuance infrastructure (more reliable root certificates), extended insurance, and priority processing of OCSP requests, which directly affect the connection speed in the browser. | ||||||||||
| How many subdomains can be protected under one license? | ||||||||||
There are no restrictions on the number of first-level subdomains. You can protect *.domain.com, which ensures security for mail.domain.com, vpn.domain.com, billing.domain.com, and any other names created based on your main domain. | ||||||||||
| Does GeoTrust Premium Wildcard protect the main domain without 'www'? | ||||||||||
Yes. When issuing a certificate for *.yourdomain.com, the main domain (Apex Domain) yourdomain.com will also be protected, eliminating security errors when users access through the site's root. | ||||||||||
| How quickly is this certificate issued? | ||||||||||
Despite the 'Premium' status, this is a domain-validated (DV) certificate. The process is automated and takes 5 to 15 minutes after domain ownership is confirmed through the chosen method (Email, DNS, or file). | ||||||||||
| Is a trust seal provided with this SSL? | ||||||||||
Yes, you receive the dynamic GeoTrust True Site Seal. It contains a timestamp and security confirmation from GeoTrust, visually increasing user trust on registration and payment pages. | ||||||||||

GeoTrust Premium Wildcard offers one of the highest guarantees in the DV class—$500,000. This confirms the certification authority's readiness to be responsible for the reliability of its encryption. | ||||||||||
| Can this SSL be used on subdomains of different levels? | ||||||||||
A wildcard certificate works at the level where the ‘asterisk’ is placed. If the certificate is issued for *.domain.com, it will not protect test.dev.domain.com. A separate wildcard for the needed level will be required for such purposes. | ||||||||||

GeoTrust keeps up with the times and supports not only standard RSA keys (2048 bits) but also more efficient elliptic curve (ECC) algorithms, which provide the same level of protection with lower server resource consumption. | ||||||||||

No, thanks to SNI technology support on web servers, you can install this wildcard certificate even on shared IP virtual hosting. | ||||||||||

When generating a CSR request, be sure to enter the domain name in the 'Common Name' field using the format *.your-site.com. Other fields (city, organization) can be filled out in the standard way, as they are not thoroughly checked for DV certificates. |
