Simply put, all wildcard certificates work similarly. They cover things like CSR, SSL encryption, and work well with browsers and servers, including mobile devices. The only difference is the name of the company providing the certificate. The ultimate factor in decision-making is the price of each Wildcard certificate. ClickSSL Wildcard certificates offer great pricing with a trusted name.

A Wildcard SSL for a single domain won't cover second-level subdomains. If you have *.mydomain.com, it secures sites under mydomain.com. For instance, it can secure blog.mydomain.com but not mail.blog.mydomain.com. To secure second-level subdomains, consider a wildcard for a specific domain, like *.ext.mydomain.com. Only then can you secure subdomains like
- www.ext.mydomain.com
- blog.ext.mydomain.com
- mail.ext.mydomain.com

A wildcard SSL covers your main website URL and as many subdomains as you want. It's like a big shield that protects all your subdomains. However, it's not for securing different domains – only the subdomains linked to your main domain. So, if they're all under the same domain, a wildcard SSL has got you covered.
Set your common name as *.yourdomain.tld when creating a CSR key. For example, if your website is www.mydomain.com, generate the CSR key for *.mydomain.com. Ensure that the asterisk (*) character is included and maintain a key size of 2048-bits.
