Since this is one of the most premium wildcard certificates we have available, it typically takes 2-3 business days to get issued. This is an Organization Validated (OV) certificate, meaning your company will have to complete a light vetting process before the certificate is issued by the Certification Authority (CA). However, there are many benefits to choosing an OV wildcard certificate, the main one being that it will inject more trust into your website. The Thawte Site Seal will also be dynamic, with clickable information about your company embedded inside.
The Thawte SSL wildcard can be issued with the strongest available encryption strength, 256-bit. So you can rest assured that you are receiving the highest level of security, if needed, with this premium wildcard certificate.
You can cover one domain and an unlimited amount of subdomains with the Thawte Wildcard SSL certificate. For example, you could assign this certificate to www.domain.com and then mail.domain.com, billing.domain.com, subdomain.domain.com, etc. If you are looking to secure multiple domains with just a single certificate, we would encourage you to check out the Thawte SSL Web Server certificate, so you can still harness the power of the trusted Thawte brand name.
This wildcard SSL certificate features stronger mobile compatibility than some of our more velocity brands. So, if your customer are likely to be accessing your site via a mobile device, we would highly recommend this certificate as your wildcard option.
Websites protected by the Thawte Wildcard SSL certificate will get the reputable Thawte Site Seal displayed on pages of their choosing. This Site Seal is rapidly becoming one of the most trusted across the globe, as your customers will be able to click on it and see your organization details and certificate details. This will help assure your customers that you have been vetted by a third party security specialist, and are safe to do business with.
With the Thawte Wildcard SSL certificate, you get a $1,250,000 warranty. This means that if your site was improperly validated, actually not secured and/or issued to a fraudulent site by this Certificate Authority (CA), etc., Thawte would compensate the end user of the site or victim up to $1,250,000 for any losses or damages incurred. These warranties are there to ensure that your customers are protected and the credibility of the site is established, all in an effort to give users the confidence they need to transact on your site.
