SSL on apache 2 Wildcard SSL Certificates
I have linode account with VPS and i am about to enable SSL for this domain. My doubt is can i use my commercial certificate for both
May be soon another domain with different IP address or sub domain belonging to same account might be purchased so should i go for Wildcard SSL certificates.
Please let me know more about your Wildcard SSL certificates experience, suggestions and their issues and limitations.
thank you

Wildcard certs are very cost-effective if you have many sub-domains but they are much more expensive; if you have fewer than 10 sub-domains it's usually not worth it.
Wildcard certs also let you use the same IP address without issue. If you use multiple certs, you will either need a separate IP address for each site, or you will need to use SNI, which isn't supported by IE on Windows XP or by some mobile browsers.
