What it is
What is Wildcard SSL
Wildcard SSL is a certificate that protects not only the main domain but also all of its subdomains. You no longer need to issue a separate SSL for each subdomain, which makes it a convenient solution for growing projects.
A standard SSL protects a single domain name (for example, yoursite.kz or www.yoursite.kz). Wildcard protects all first-level subdomains, providing scalability and flexibility.
For example, a certificate for *.yoursite.kz will protect
- shop.yoursite.kz: an online store
- blog.yoursite.kz: a blog or news section
- mail.yoursite.kz: an email service
- any subdomains you create in the future

Can I add new subdomains after the Wildcard is issued?
Yes, a Wildcard automatically covers any new first-level subdomains without reissue.
Does a Wildcard protect second-level subdomains?
No. A certificate for *.site.kz protects shop.site.kz but not a.shop.site.kz; such addresses need a separate certificate.
Is Wildcard compatible with hosting control panels?
Yes, installation is done with the standard tools of control panels.
Does a Wildcard affect website loading speed?
No, encryption works at the HTTPS protocol level and does not create a noticeable load.
Can Wildcard be used for Cyrillic domains?
Yes, internationalized domain names (IDN) are supported.
What should I do if the Wildcard key is leaked?
You only need to revoke and reissue one certificate instead of dozens of separate ones.
Does Wildcard work with HTTP/3 and CDNs?
Yes, the certificate is compatible with modern web protocols, and most CDNs support it with no extra configuration.
Can a Wildcard be installed on several servers?
Yes, one certificate can be installed on different servers; licensing terms depend on the certificate authority.
How do I move a Wildcard to new hosting?
The certificate moves unchanged: just copy the certificate file and the private key.
Do Wildcard certificates differ between certificate authorities?
The encryption level is the same, but the validation level, validity period and terms may differ, so check them before choosing.
