Wild Card SSL Certificates

| Can wild card SSL certs be used on multiple servers, or can they only be used on one server?

| It should work on multiple servers that have identical web servers running. Some providers asks to get additional license for using wild card SSL on multiple physical servers.

| They will have the same servers running, it would basically be to offer shared SSL on our shared and reseller hosting servers. Should this work?

| Yes, it should work. Just check for the licensing part at the SSL provider.

| Yeah, as david510 said, it'll work fine but make sure you use the right domain format. A lot of people assume a wildcard SSL will work with *.subdomain.domain.com AND *.domain.com which isn't the case.

| Thanks guys, I have just ordered a wildcard SSL cert and we are giving this a go now.

| Yeah, it works. We do the same thing across about 90 of our servers, all using the same wildcard cert.
