    Wildcard EV - SSL Question

    Guys,

    We are planning to use Wildcard EV SSL on one of our portal. Kindly advice which one is the best.

    Verisign and Comodo are too costly. Do you have any other reliable and secure solution in your mind?

    The cheapest I have seen EV certs are from Namecheap but they don't offer Wildcard:

    http://www.namecheap.com/learn/other...p?pricefor=ssl

    You could try and contact them and see if wildcard is available and just not advertised.

    Could you post the link to Verisign and Comodo Wildcard EV SSL?
    I couldn't find any.

    Geocerts is the cheapest EV SSL I could find, but not wildcard:
    https://www.geocerts.com/ssl/ev

    Anyhow, if you are on a tight budget, just don't use subdomains. Get your cert for the whole domain, and use subfolders:

    www.domain.com
    www.domain.com/support
    www.domain.com/sales
    www.domain.com/members

    Agreed. Use the sub folders and get a geotrust ev ssl from namecheap for $179 and you won't regret it.

    The EV SSL Certificate Guidelines do not allow CAs to issue EV Wildcard certificates so you won't find anyone offering them. Some offer EV certificate with multiple SAN names though. That may work if you only have a few subdomains to secure. Alternatively, you could use subfolders instead of subdomains as others mentioned.

    Actually wildcard ssl and ev ssl certificate are totally different certificate. Wildcard certificate is used for secure multiple subdomain and ev ssl certificate is special certificate that display green address bar on browser. So if you are planning to buy both certificates then this is not possible. You must have to choose one among them. For your more information you can buy this certificate from certificate authority or their reseller like Symantec, geotrust, digicert, clickssl, trustico, ect.

    As others have siad, the CAB guidelines prevents EV certs being sold as wildcards.

    You can certainly get multi-domain/fqdn extended validation certificates, both from GeoTrust and Comodo, that would be your best bet I should think.
    They simply issue the EV certificate with Subject Alternate Name (SAN) records.
