A Wildcard SSL certificate is used to secure unlimited sub-domains that share a common base domain.

But the domain itself won't be protected. For example: A Wildcard certificate issued to *.mydomain.com can be used to secure the following domains:

- login.mydomain.com

- secure.mydomain.com

- support.mydomain.com

- www.mydomain.com etc.

Along with multiple subdomains, a Wildcard SSL will also secure naked mydomain.com
