Frequently asked questions
What is an SSL Certificate and why do I need one?
An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificate is a data file that protects the sensitive information exchanged between users and websites, like passwords or credit card details. Every site that uses an SSL Certificate automatically switches from an HTTP to an HTTPS encryption.
SSL Certificates are issued by trusted authorities who verify the identity of your site or business. Once approved, you can install the certificate on your domain to encrypt your website pages.
What is Wildcard SSL?
Wildcard SSL helps to secure your main website and all its subdomains with just one certificate. It’s perfect for businesses with multiple subdomains, as it protects them all (e.g., shop.example.com, blog.example.com) under one certificate, saving you time and money.
What type of SSL certificate do I get with Wildcard SSL?
You'll receive a single Wildcard Certificate, issued to example.yourdomain.com. This one certificate covers your main domain and an unlimited number of subdomains, so there's no need to purchase or install anything separately as you add new subdomains.
What's the difference between Domain Wildcard and Organisation Wildcard?
Both the Domain Wildcard and Organisation Wildcard SSL certificates offer key features like securing unlimited subdomains, displaying a padlock in the browser, and including a site seal. They also cover unlimited server licenses, making them ideal for websites with multiple subdomains or services.
The key difference is that the Organisation Wildcard requires you to be a registered business and undergo basic business vetting. This additional verification helps provide extra trust for your visitors, making it the right choice for growing businesses looking to establish credibility. The Domain Wildcard, on the other hand, is best suited for smaller sites without the need for business verification.
How long does it take to set up Wildcard SSL?
Setting up Wildcard SSL usually takes anywhere from 1 hour to 5 days, depending on the certificate. We typically process most requests within 48 hours. Once it’s ready, we’ll send you a confirmation email.
How do I verify my identity for a Wildcard SSL certificate?
To issue a Wildcard SSL, the issuing authority needs to verify your identity or business to make sure everything’s secure. Only registered businesses can use the Organization Validation Wildcard SSL.
How do I renew an expired Wildcard SSL certificate?
If your Wildcard SSL certificate is set to auto-renew, you don’t need to do anything. If it’s not set to auto-renew, your certificate will expire. You can enable auto-renew in your 123 Reg Control Panel. Alternatively, you can manually renew your Certificate up to 120 days before and 14 days after the expiration date by following the steps outlined in the following article: How do I renew my SSL Certificate?
