Multi-Domain (SAN) Certificates (also called SAN Certificates) use Subject Alternative Names to secure multiple sites (i.e., fully qualified domain names) with one certificate. Four SANs are included in the base price of the Multi-Domain (SAN) Certificate, but you can purchase additional names at any time during the lifetime of the certificate.
With a Multi-Domain (SAN) Certificate, you can secure:
•www.example.com
•www.example2.com
•www.example3.net
•mail.example.net
•dev.example2.com
This makes Multi-Domain (SAN) Certificates perfect for any environment where you need to secure multiple names across different domains (e.g., Exchange/OCS environments).
Unlimited Server License
Most other Certificate Authorities' SSL Certificates (including Wildcard Certificates) are only licensed for one physical server. But with DigiCert's unlimited server license, you can use your certificate on as many servers as you want. You can even generate separate certificates with unique key pairs for each server. That's the ultimate flexibility.
In addition, each Multi-Domain (SAN) Certificate comes with 4 SAN names included in the base price. But don't forget that you can purchase additional SANs throughout the lifetime of the Multi-Domain (SAN) Certificate. These SANs names provide you with the configuration flexibility. For example, you can secure multiple domains, multiple subdomains, or a mix of both domains and subdomains.
If you are using Exchange servers in your environment, you can use Multi-Domain (SAN) Certificates to run multiple services, such as OWA, SMTP, Autodiscovery, ActiveSync, and Outlook Anywhere, on one IP address.
Improved Customer Engagement
A site seal is a visual cue you use to communicate that your site is secure and website visitors can trust you. These users will feel more confident on your site, positively affecting engagement metrics and increasing conversions.
