Can I Upgrade an SSL Certificate to a Wildcard?
Last updated
No. It is not possible to upgrade a single-name SSL certificate to a wildcard SSL certificate, even if they are issued by the same certificate authority. You must purchase a new wildcard SSL certificate separately.
Refund Policy
If you decide a wildcard SSL certificate better fits your needs within 30 days of purchasing a single-name SSL certificate, contact support and we can refund your initial order so you are only charged for the wildcard. The single-name certificate is revoked when it is refunded, so install the wildcard SSL certificate first.
How to Order a Wildcard SSL Certificate
- Sectigo wildcard - See How to Buy a Wildcard SSL Certificate. Covers all single-level subdomains plus the root domain. Costs $100/year.
- Let’s Encrypt wildcard - See How to Get a Free Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificate. Covers all single-level subdomains (for example, *.example.com), but does not include the root domain (example.com). Free, but requires your domain to resolve with DNSimple.
For help choosing between single-name and wildcard coverage, see How to Choose SSL Certificate Names.
