The first eligible domain in the EV request.
Extended validation (EV)
SDH EV Multi-Domain SSL
Combine extended organization validation with three explicit domain or subdomain names. Use this when EV is part of the organization's requirements and a single main-domain certificate would leave other important addresses outside the coverage.

Know the names you are securing
Three explicit names with extended validation.
SDH EV Multi-Domain SSL combines a three-name SAN list with the CA's extended validation process. Every requested name must be eligible and under demonstrable control.
example.org
A second explicitly listed domain.
accounts.example.net
A third exact hostname, rather than a wildcard.
Coverage boundary
This product does not provide EV wildcard coverage. Required aliases can consume names, extra SANs are quoted separately and the organization must meet the CA's EV requirements.
Match the requirement
Where SDH EV Multi-Domain SSL fits.
Start with the addresses you need to protect and the identity checks your organization requires.
An EV policy across several names
A project with an explicit extended-validation requirement and three identified eligible addresses.
A coordinated organization application
A business ready to handle organization checks and the domain-validation requirements for the complete certificate.
A planned group of public services
A defined website and portal arrangement with an administrator responsible for installing and replacing the shared certificate.
HTTPS encrypts data in transit between supported clients and a correctly configured server. It does not guarantee that a website is malware-free or replace secure application and server administration.
Before you begin
Have the right access and information ready.
Agree the exact name list and authorization contact before applying. Confirm who controls each domain and how the organization will provide any CA-requested business or authorization information.
- Domain control. Access to an available CA-approved validation method for the requested names.
- Compatible hosting. A server or hosting service that accepts a separately supplied certificate, with an administrator available to install it.
- A certificate signing request (CSR). Your administrator generates it and keeps the corresponding private key secure.
- Organization details. The legal name and an appropriate contact for the CA's extended verification. Supporting information depends on the CA's requirements.
- A replacement plan. Someone responsible for later reissues, installation and manual renewal.
A CSR is request data, not a private key. Keep private keys, passwords, payment-card details and identity documents out of ordinary website enquiry forms.
A manual process, with clear responsibilities
How ordering works.
SDH coordinates your certificate order. The CA performs validation and issuance; your administrator handles installation.
Choose coverage and term
Select the prepaid period for SDH EV Multi-Domain SSL. Review the full upfront total and confirm the names and validation requirements with SDH before proceeding.
Prepare the certificate request
Supply the CSR, the three-name SAN list and organization legal name. Confirm all needed aliases and any separately quoted SANs before starting the CA review.
Complete the CA's validation
Extended organization and authorization checks are combined with validation of the requested domain names. Requirements depend on the CA and application; allow for business-day checks without assuming a fixed completion time.
Install and check HTTPS
Your administrator installs the issued certificate and chain, configures HTTPS and checks the secured names. Later reissuance can require this step again.
A prepaid term is different from certificate validity.
Your selected 1 year prepaid period is paid in full upfront. It does not produce one certificate valid for an unrestricted period. CA and browser rules determine individual certificate validity. Later reissuance, validation and installation may be required within the prepaid subscription.
Understand the purchase
The certificate and the work around it.
Choose the right certificate coverage and agree any additional technical assistance separately.
Included with the selected certificate
- Three agreed eligible domain or subdomain names in the certificate.
- Extended validation and domain-control checks for the requested coverage.
- Issued certificate files, the chain and reissuance subject to the issuer's current rules.
Browser and device trust depends on valid issuance, supported clients and correct server configuration. A site seal is available only where the issuer supplies and licenses one for the product.
Not included in this purchase
- Certificate installation or deployment to your servers.
- Server repair, application fixes or mixed-content remediation.
- Continuous certificate management or automatic expiry reminders.
- Automatic renewal or a guaranteed future renewal price.
- Extra SANs beyond the three included names; these need a separate quotation.
Plan for reissuance and renewal.
Treat a reissue as a coordinated change for every endpoint sharing the certificate. Name changes or organization details may need further checks, and the customer remains responsible for deployment of the new files.
Renewal is arranged manually; pricing will be confirmed before renewal. Reissuance is subject to the issuer's rules and does not include SDH installation labor or promise that every name change is free.
Frequently asked questions
More about SDH EV Multi-Domain SSL.
Three names with extended checks
This EV certificate covers three explicit eligible names. There is no EV wildcard product in the catalog.
Does EV Multi-Domain include wildcard names?
No. This catalog offers EV for explicit eligible names, with three names included here. There is no EV wildcard product in the catalog.
Can I add all of our brands to the certificate?
Only the approved eligible names in the certificate are covered. Three names are included. Extra SANs need a separate quotation and the CA must accept the organization and name requirements.
Is EV a substitute for application security checks?
No. EV concerns certificate identity validation. HTTPS protects data in transit; it does not establish that an application is malware-free, securely coded or protected against every attack.
Is installation included with SDH EV Multi-Domain SSL?
No. The certificate purchase does not include installation, server repair, mixed-content fixes or continuous certificate management. Your hosting administrator installs and verifies the certificate; ask SDH about separately agreed assistance if needed.
Does a five-year purchase mean one certificate lasts five years?
No. The prepaid term is the purchased subscription period. Individual certificate validity is subject to CA and browser requirements, so you may need reissuance, validation and replacement installation during that period.
How will renewal be handled?
Renewal is arranged manually; pricing will be confirmed before renewal. New validation and issuance steps may be needed. The current prepaid price is not a promise of future renewal pricing or automatic renewal.
