does aplus.net offer an ssl certificate plan which will secure my subdomains too?

Answer by: Stuart Pierce, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol designed to enable encrypted, authenticated connection across the Internet. SSL is used mostly in communication between web browsers and web servers. URL's that begin with 'https' indicate that an SSL connection will be used. Online shopping sites frequently use SSL technology to safeguard credit card information. In order to use the SSL protocol you need to have an SSL certificate which is used for the server authentication, data encryption, and message integrity checks.

Aplus.Net offers an SSL Certificate plan which will secure your domain name along with all subdomains associated with it. This is the SSL 1MIL Multi certificate. You can also decide to purchase additional licenses for additional web servers. You will need this, if some of your subdomains are hosted on different web servers.

Important: This SSL certificate is applicable to Dedicated Servers only. This certificate will not work with Aplus.Net shared hosting plans.
