Multisite and SSL

[cosmicsafari]

Hi all,

Just a quick question, when using the multisite module is there anything different that needs to be done in order to setup HTTPS for each of the domains its serving?

Would a single SSL certificate for the main domain be enough to cover the others aswell or would you need multiple ceritficates one for each domain the mutlisite setup uses?

The free, cheap and less expensive certificates will cover only one domain - maybe sub-domains, too.

There might be "wildcard" certificates that cover every single domain you own but those are either expensive or domains have to defined before.

If your hosting company provides Let's encrypt you should go with a certificate for each of your domains.

Depending on your overall requirements and project you might want to consider paid certificates.

There are no wildcard certificates. Corrected this assumption.

Wildcard certificates are only for one "complete" domainname like "*.domainname.ext"  

You need a certificate for every domainname - including subdomains (or you have a wildcard certificate...  )
