Making the Most Out of Multi - Domain SSL Certificates

A Unified Communications Certificate or a Multi-Domain

secures multiple domains under a single server. They have

become more popular in recent years due to Microsoft making

their server environments more compatible with SAN

technology.

Ensuring that an ecommerce website runs successfully depends

heavily on how well it meets customers’ needs and requirements.

One of the primary requirements of a user will be protection of

personal data. Making sure that your website provides the highest

level of protection for a user’s data is of utmost importance for

online success.

Sometimes it becomes necessary that multiple domains of a website

are secured to ensure that users do not find any reasons to leave a

website before providing any details; owners of multiple websites

can also cut costs using this type of SSL. Unified Communications

Certificates (UCC) are SSL Certificates that secure multiple domains

and multiple hostnames within a domain. They allow you to secure a

primary domain, and up to 24 additional Subject Alternative Names,

in a single certificate. UC Certificates are most suitable for Microsoft

Exchange Server 2007, Exchange Server 2010, and Microsoft Live

Communications Server.

UC Certificates are generally well-matched with shared hosting.

However, keep in mind this drawback: the site seal and certificate

"Issued To" will only show the primary domain. The other secondary

hosting accounts will, however, appear in the certificates.

Although UC certificates are remarkably utilized in combination with

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or 2010, they can be used with any

major server type to protect manifold distinct hostnames in one

certificate using "Subject Alternate Name" (SAN).

This SSL certificate is also ideal for shared hosting environments (as

discussed above), QA testing environments, and small businesses with

multiple business applications to secure on a single server. It can protect

OWA, ActiveSync, SMTP, and Outlook.
