- To ensure that your SSL certificate is valid for both www.yourdomain.tld as well as youdomain.tld you must have your hosting provider generate the CSR with the common name www.yourdomain.tld
- The Wildcard SSL option allows you to secure the main domain as well as sub-domains, such as blog.domain, mobile.domain etc.
- If you selected the Wildcard option, the CSR should be generated with *.yourdomain.tld
- For the Alpha and Domain level SSL certificates it will be necessary to choose a ‘verify’ email from a pre-defined list. Click here for more details.
