      Oh man, I forgot about startssl until just now. I definitely had a few of those certs. If you wanted something fancy like a wildcard cert back then, you were paying $$$

        Luckily, wildcard certs are insecure and should be avoided.

          Wildcard certs are perfectly fine. Your own instance lemm.ee is using one right now.

          Obviously there could be issues if subdomains are shared with other sites, but if the whole domain is owned by 1 person, what does it matter?
