Multi-Domain SSL Certificate
Quick answer
A multi-domain SSL certificate lists several exact hostnames, including names on different domains, in its Subject Alternative Name field so they share one validation and one expiry. WebJi® quotes it before payment at support@webji.services; the published alternatives are Sectigo Positive SSL at ₹1,800 and Positive SSL Wildcard at ₹7,500 a year, before 18% GST.
For businesses, agencies and Exchange administrators who run a fixed set of hostnames across two or more domains and want one certificate and one renewal date.

What is a multi-domain (SAN) SSL certificate?
A multi-domain SSL certificate is one certificate whose Subject Alternative Name (SAN) list carries several exact hostnames, even on unrelated domains, so all of them share one key, one validation and one expiry date. Browsers check the hostname they visited against that SAN list. A name missing from the list is not covered, however close it looks.
The product goes by three names in catalogues: SAN certificate, multi-domain certificate and UCC (Unified Communications Certificate). UCC is simply the label certificate authorities used for Microsoft Exchange and Office Communications setups, where one server answers on several mail hostnames.
| SAN entry | What it serves | Covered? |
|---|---|---|
| www.jaipurtextiles.in | Main shop | Yes, listed |
| jaipurtextiles.in | Bare domain | Yes, listed |
| www.jaipurtextiles.com | Export brand on a second domain | Yes, listed |
| mail.jaipurtextiles.in | Webmail login | Yes, listed |
| blog.jaipurtextiles.in | Not on the list | No — reissue to add it |
Who needs a multi-domain SSL certificate?
A multi-domain certificate suits an owner who runs a fixed set of hostnames across two or more domains and wants one renewal date instead of several. If every name sits under one domain, a wildcard is usually simpler; if there is only www and the apex, a single-domain DV certificate is enough.
Exchange and mail servers
Webmail, autodiscover and the SMTP hostname each need to be listed; this is the classic UCC use.
Agencies hosting client sites
A shared server answering for a handful of client domains can present one certificate with every name on it.
Domain migrations
During a rebrand, the old and new domains can both stay valid on HTTPS while redirects run.
How much does a multi-domain SSL certificate cost at WebJi®?
WebJi® quotes multi-domain SSL individually, because the price depends on how many names go on the SAN list; email support@webji.services with the hostnames and you get the figure before you pay. The certificates with a published rate are below, so you can see what the single-domain and wildcard routes cost for comparison.
| Certificate | Covers | Price (₹/yr) | Order |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multi-domain (SAN/UCC) | The hostnames you list, across domains | Quoted before payment | Ask for a quote → |
| Sectigo Positive SSL | www + non-www of one domain (DV) | 1,800 | Order Now → |
| Sectigo Positive SSL Wildcard | 1 domain + all sub-domains | 7,500 | Order Now → |
A useful benchmark: three separate domains on three Positive SSL certificates cost ₹5,400 a year before GST (3 × ₹1,800) and give you three renewal dates. Ask for the SAN quote with that number in hand. Free Let's Encrypt certificates also come with every WebJi® hosting plan.
Multi-domain vs wildcard SSL: which one fits your hostnames?
Pick multi-domain when the names span different domains; pick a wildcard when they are all subdomains of one domain and new ones keep appearing. The two can be confused because both cover "many names", but they match hostnames in opposite ways.
| Question | Multi-domain (SAN) | Wildcard |
|---|---|---|
| Different domains on one certificate? | Yes | No, one domain only |
| New subdomain added next month? | Needs a reissue | Covered automatically at the first level |
| Deep names like a.b.example.in? | Yes, if listed | No, first level only |
| Published WebJi® price | Quoted | ₹7,500/yr before GST |
If you need many subdomains of one domain, read the wildcard SSL certificate page. If the business name must appear in the certificate details, the validation level matters more than the name count; the OV SSL certificate page explains organisation checks.
How to order a multi-domain certificate from WebJi®
Ordering takes four steps: list the hostnames, get the quote, prove control of each domain, then install the issued certificate on the server. Domain control is proved per domain, so every domain on the list needs a working email, DNS or file-upload route for validation.
- Write the exact list. Include both www and the bare domain where you use both; each counts as its own entry.
- Email support@webji.services. The reply states the price, the number of names included and the reissue terms before payment.
- Validate each domain. Approve the email, add the DNS record or upload the file for every domain on the list.
- Install once. One certificate and key go on the server; the IIS installation guide covers Exchange and Windows servers.
After installation, run the hostnames through the SSL checker to confirm each name appears in the SAN list and the chain is complete. The full catalogue of certificate types is on the SSL certificate hub.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is a SAN certificate the same as a UCC certificate?
Yes, in practice. Both list several hostnames in the Subject Alternative Name field. UCC is the label certificate authorities gave the product for Microsoft Exchange and Office Communications servers, which answer on several mail hostnames at once.
Do www and the bare domain count as two names?
On a SAN list each hostname is a separate entry, so www.example.in and example.in are two names unless the certificate authority bundles them. The WebJi® quote states exactly which names are included before you pay.
What happens if one domain on the certificate expires or is sold?
The certificate stays valid for the other names, but you should reissue it without that domain so a former domain is not tied to your key. Email support@webji.services; the reissue terms are confirmed before any charge.
Can a multi-domain certificate also include a wildcard entry?
Some certificate authorities sell multi-domain wildcard products that accept entries like *.example.in alongside other names. It is not in WebJi®'s published table, so ask support@webji.services whether it can be quoted for your list.
Does one certificate for many domains slow the site down?
Not noticeably for a handful of names. A very long SAN list makes the certificate slightly larger during the TLS handshake, which is one reason to keep unrelated, high-traffic brands on separate certificates.
