Hi, I have a domain (e.g.) foo.com
I am using a virtual machine in a cloud having public IP. on this VM i am also using VirtualMin for shared hosting. so i have multple URLS to access different services such as email,wordpress, virtualmin console, and website address. now i need to use SSL on all these addresses however all these address does not change the sub domain. so do i need to buy wildcard (which is very expensive) or i can use simple SSL.
here are the site links that i need to encrypt.
Website https ://foo.com (hosted via virtualmin)
Email https://foo.com/mail (hosted via virtualmin)
Wordpress https://foo.com/wp-admin (hosted via virtualmin)
virtualmin https://foo.com:10000 (virtualmin console)
virtualmin email https://foo.com:20000 (virtualmin email console)
as you can see all these URLS has no change in sub domains rather port and landing directories are change. so do i need Normal SSL for all these links or i need wildcard ?
Thanks, MYK
Just use Let's Encrypt, and copy the certs to all of the services to be encrypted by that certificate (there are buttons for that in Virtualmin's SSL form).
A wildcard certificate is for when you have many subdomains, but you don't even need one then, because you can just get an LE cert for each subdomain...LE doesn't care. Virtualmin doesn't care. A subdomain is just another name.
