If we have a certificate for a domain, say fredblogs.com and we register a sub domain as anon.fredblogs.com will we need another certificate?

I think not....correct??

Cheers

John

 

Certificate as in to say you own the domain? Nope.

SSL Certification? Maybe.

 

If it's ssl - yes, unless you have a wildcard certificate.

Steve

 

Yes, it's SSL, a new certificate is required then

Cheers for the info

 

you could replace your current for a wildcard and not have to renew 2 next time around....

Some Certificate Authorities (such as Thawte) will permit a "wildcard"
domain name here, i.e., *.domain.com. If you have several hostnames within
a particular domain that you will be supporting, this may be a better
choice, but you'll need to ensure that the Certificate Authority that
you'll be using to sign your certificate will support this form for the
certificate's common name. Unfortunately, not all clients will recognize
wildcard characters in the domain name, and those clients will be
presented with a warning that the certificate's domain name doesn't match
the server's domain name. The current versions of both Microsoft's and
Netscape's clients, however, do support wildcarded domain names.
