Multi-domain SSL

Multi domain certificates make it possible to secure up to 100 domains with a single certificate. You can mix all your different second level domains (e.g. domain.com, www.domain.com, sub.domain.com, domain.net, and otherdomain.com).

Do you sell multi-domain SSLs?

Multi domain SSL certs are allowed on all of HostGator's plans, except Hatchling.

The price for a one year certificate is $150, which includes up to 3 domains and installation. Each additional domain raises the annual price by $25. (Keep in mind that domain.com and www.domain.com are treated as two separate domains.)

Please email sales@hostgator.com (or create a ticket to sales) for details and to purchase.

If you decide to add extra domains mid-year, then we will need to reinstall your SSL certificate. The price is $25 per each new domain added.

NOTE: Adding extra domains does not renew your certificate; the expiration date remains the same.

For example, if you have a multi-domain SSL with three domains already, and you want to add a fourth domain mid-year, the fee would be $25 for each additional domain. (We do not charge you for the domains you already paid for.) If you have a multi-domain SSL with two domains and you have not used your third domain yet, then there is no charge to add the third domain, since that is included in the original $150 fee.

Can you install multi-domain SSLs purchased elsewhere?

For installing a Multi-Domain SSL purchased elsewhere, we charge $25 fee + $5 for each additional domain beyond the first 5. However, we will install this for free on any HostGator managed dedicated server.

Can you install multi-domain SSLs on multiple accounts?

Yes, a multi-domain SSL Certificate can be installed on multiple accounts. This allows you to host different domains on different cPanels, accounts or even servers, while using the same multi-domain SSL Certificate. The SSL Certificate will work for all domains listed in the certificate, regardless of where each individual domain is.

So if I initially purchase a multi-domain SSL for three domains, it costs $150. If I then later want to add one more domain, will it cost $25 to reissue plus $25 for the additional domain? Or is it $25 to reissue plus ($25 x 4 domains)=$100 to add ALL the domains?

Or put another way, when using a multi-domain SSL, and going from three domains to four, will it cost $50 or $125?

Adding a domain to an existing multi-domain SSL would cost $25 times the total number of domains you are adding to the certificate + the admin installation fee.

So, $25 plus the install charge.

We do not charge you again for the domains you already paid for.

If I have a reseller account and want to purchase an SSL for one of the domains, do I need to purchase a dedicated IP or would the domain already have one.

HostGator
Normally, your accounts do not have dedicated IPs. You will need to purchase one at $2 per month.

I hava a business plan, Can I use the SSL include in this plan for all my addon?
Posted: September 29, 2010
HostGator
No, the SSL included with a Business plan is not a multi-domain SSL, nor is it a Wildcard SSL.

You get a Domain Validated SSL certificate, which is a private SSL (a.k.a. dedicated SSL) for only one domain name.

If I have the business plan but need SSL for more than one domain, does it still cost $150 or do you get a discount (down to $100) since the $50 single domain SSL was already included?
Posted: November 19, 2010
HostGator
No, that discount is not exchangeable.

You may email sales@hostgator.com to inquire about pricing and discounts.
