What is Wildcard SSL from Jelastic and how will it help to save?

Not so long ago, REG.RU introduced cloud services based on the Jelastic hosting platform to users. Despite the fact that it is quite simple to use, REG.RU technical support specialists are often asked with clarifying questions about working with the Jelastic PaaS platform. There are currently very few detailed instructions on the web in Russian, so sometimes we will tell REG.RU blog about what our customers are most interested in.

Now go directly to the topic of the post.

What is Wildcard SSL?

Wildcard SSL is a universal SSL certificate that allows you to send multiple hosts from one domain name to one server at a time. This eliminates the need to purchase individual SSL certificates for each of their subdomains. That is why Wildcard SSL is an ideal solution for sites of large organizations and commercial Internet projects.

Pros Wildcard SSL

• Cost . Purchase Wildcard SSL-certificate will allow the user to save a tidy sum, eliminating the need to purchase several traditional certificates.
• Save time . You no longer have to spend time setting up 20 different individual SSL certificates at once, and do this every time it is time to renew them. Install and continue to support will need only one SSL certificate.

Wildcard SSL certificate is:

• Convenient management . The process of setting up an SSL certificate is simplified as much as possible and does not require any special knowledge - everything is done with a few clicks.
• Quick check . Thanks to Wildcard SSL, the site will be checked and sealed as quickly as possible.
