Short answer: Absolutely! SSL.com’s Basic SSL certificate can secure subdomains by allowing you to choose one Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) to protect. This FQDN can be either:
- A root domain (e.g., yourdomain.com), or
- A subdomain (e.g., support.yourdomain.com)
What’s Covered?
When you order a Basic SSL certificate to protect a subdomain—let’s say support.yourdomain.com—it will also protect www.support.yourdomain.com at no extra charge. In other words, you get coverage for both the subdomain you specify and its www version.
Why This Matters
By securing your chosen domain (or subdomain) plus its www variant, you ensure that visitors to your website enjoy a seamless and safe experience, regardless of whether they type in the www. prefix.
