help Sectigo Wildcard SSL FAQ

What does a Sectigo Wildcard SSL certificate protect?

A wildcard certificate such as *.example.com protects the main domain's subdomains, including shop.example.com and login.example.com. Sectigo describes wildcard certificates as covering unlimited subdomains under the selected domain.

Does Sectigo Wildcard SSL include domain validation?

The common Wildcard DV version validates control of the domain before issuance. Domain validation confirms ownership or administrative control, but it does not perform the deeper organization checks associated with OV certificates.

Can one Sectigo Wildcard certificate cover example.com itself?

A wildcard for *.example.com normally covers subdomains such as www.example.com, but the bare example.com domain is not automatically covered by the wildcard name. If the root domain must be protected too, check whether it is included as a separate SAN on the certificate.

How do I validate a Sectigo wildcard certificate?

DNS-based domain control validation is a common choice for wildcard certificates because it avoids placing a file on every subdomain. Sectigo also supports other validation methods depending on the certificate order and the domain setup.
