Before an SSL certificate is issued it, the domain name or the organization that requests it needs to pass a verification process. Different types of SSL certificates have different verification processes. The Standard and the Wildcard SSLs have a standard domain verification process. If you would like to get an EV SSL certificate you will need to pass an extended verification process that is performed by WebTrust Accredited Certification Authority. In order to purchase an EV SSL you need to be a legitimate Organization. Many people browse websites through their mobile and smart phones or PDAs. That is why using an SSL certificate, compatible with mobile devices is highly recommended. An SSL certificate is usually issued for the main domain and all pages located on subfolders (yourdomain.com/subfolder) of the main domain. The standard SSL certificates will not protect multiple pages located on subdomains. However, if you need to secure multiple subdomains of your main domain (*.yourdomain.com), you can take advantage of the Alpha SSL Wildcard certificate.
