Know the names you are securing
Organization verification across three named addresses.
SDH OV Multi-Domain SSL includes three eligible names in the SAN list. The CA verifies the organization and requires proof of control for each name in the request.
example.org
Another eligible domain for the verified organization.
portal.example.net
An explicitly listed service hostname, using one included name.
Coverage boundary
Three names are included, not every domain the organization owns. Count required www aliases and subdomains according to the product rules. Additional SANs need a quotation; wildcard coverage is not included.
Match the requirement
Where SDH OV Multi-Domain SSL fits.
Start with the addresses you need to protect and the identity checks your organization requires.
A business with several domain names
An organization that needs verified identity on three eligible names managed as a single certificate request.
A website and business portals
A named group of public or application endpoints where organization validation is a defined requirement.
Coordinated certificate operations
A team able to complete checks for each domain and deploy replacement certificates across all affected services.
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.
Prepare the exact three-name list, organization legal name and a contact for verification. Confirm that every included domain can pass validation and every server can use the resulting certificate.
- 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 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 OV Multi-Domain SSL. Review the full upfront total and confirm the names and validation requirements with SDH before proceeding.
Prepare the certificate request
Provide a CSR, the complete SAN list and the organization legal name. Resolve alias counting or extra-name requirements with SDH before the certificate request is finalized.
Complete the CA's validation
The CA verifies the organization and each requested name. Prepare for additional business information and business-day checks; a blocked domain validation can delay the whole request.
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.
- Organization validation plus domain-control checks for the requested coverage.
- Certificate files, the applicable chain and reissue support under issuer 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.
A new SAN list or server key can trigger a reissue and further validation. Plan changes across all covered services and ask for a quotation before adding names beyond the included three.
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 OV Multi-Domain SSL.
Prepare the business and name list
Prepare the organization details and all three names. Each requested name needs domain-control validation.
Does OV validation automatically cover every company domain?
No. Organization validation establishes identity; the SAN list determines name coverage. This package includes three eligible names and requires domain-control checks for them.
Can www names use the included SANs?
Yes, aliases and subdomains can use the available names according to the actual product rules. Send the exact list so coverage can be confirmed instead of assuming extra aliases are included.
Should I choose OV wildcard instead?
A wildcard can fit eligible first-level subdomains beneath one base domain. Multi-domain coverage is useful for explicit names across different eligible domains. Match the actual hostname list before deciding.
Is installation included with SDH OV 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.
