How do I use the Wildcard SSL Certificate?

A single Wildcard SSL Certificate can secure multiple Web Sites. Typically a standard secure server SSL Certificate is issued to a single Fully Qualified Domain Name only, which means it can only be used on the exact domain (including sub-domain) to which it has been issued. With the Wildcard SSL option activated you easily get around this restriction by receiving a Wildcard SSL Certificate issued to *.domain.com. The * character replaces a "fixed" sub-domain with a "variable" one.
