You could set it up so:
https://secure.yourdomain.com/site1/
https://secure.yourdomain.com/site2/
https://secure.yourdomain.com/site3/
But you couldn't set it up like:
https://site1.yourdomain.com/
https://site2.yourdomain.com/
https://site3.yourdomain.com/
Atleast not without a security warning..

Sonic, no they cover a domain and its subdomains. If your domain is sonic.com, you can get a cert for *.sonic.com, so that shop.sonic.com, www.sonic.com, and secure.sonic.com can all use the cert.
It can't (not the right way anyway) support multiple domains. The cheapest way to do that is to get a cert for a generic domain, like securecheckout.com and then setup an SSL cert for that domain on the server, and any secure traffic has to go through that domain, using http://securecheckout.com/~user/path/to/script.php
(assuming users can access their pages that way) Its a little ugly, but its cheap.__________________

so the solution would be to put the certificate onto your hosting company domain.. then setup secure.customer.com to point to the secure www.company.com/~user/ directory ?

I would recommend GeoTust's QuickSSL - easy purchase, easy install

i agree with chris, Geotrust certs are great for us too. It depends how you setup your server, but we set ours https://secure.domain.com/~username/ can be used by our clients. (replacing username with a clients specific username)
