For protecting multiple IP addresses, Wildcard SSL is not possible. One has to buy either Single Domain or Multi-Domain.

Say, you wish to secure an entire range of IP addresses from 192.168.52.1 to 192.168.51.255.

For this, is it possible to buy Wildcard SSL for 192.168.52.*?

Unfortunately, no. That’s not possible.

For securing this IP address range, either one can buy Single Domain for each IP Address or Multi-Domain Intranet SSL certificate with required IP address in SAN values.

Yes. We give unlimited server license. You can install them on as many servers as you want.

We issue Intranet SSL to all internal names, whether they use any regular TLD or not.

Some Private Certifying Authorities do not issue Intranet SSL if your internal domain name uses a regularly used Top Level Domain (TLD) name, including ccTLD reserved for countries.

For example, if your internal domain name is name1.com or name2.net, or name3.us then they won’t issue Intranet SSL Certificate to you. They will insist that you buy their regular SSL Certificate issued by a public CA.

Since the SecureNT Intranet SSL Certificate is issued to an IP Address or Internal Name (localhost, URL, or Server name) located on the internal network of an organization there is no need to validate the Common Name (CN) or Organization name (O) or Subject Alternative Name (SAN) values.

We verify the correctness of the organization’s name from the organization’s public website.

Domain Validation (DV), Organization Validation (OV), and Extended Validation (EV) are required to be done as per the directive of the CA/Browser Forum for SSL certificates issued by the public Certifying Authority (CA).

SecureNT is a private CA.

A Wildcard certificate secures one domain and an unlimited number of accompanying sub-domains. A multi-domain Wildcard SSL certificate secures many different domains, sub-domains and multiple internal IPs with a single certificate.

Here is a feature by feature comparison:

Internal names include hosts and domains that cannot be registered or resolved in public DNS e.g., server01 or server.local, localhost, etc.

Internal IP addresses cannot be registered for use on public networks. They include IPv4 or IPv6 addresses the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) marks as reserved. The most common reserved ranges are 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255, and 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255. More information is available here.

We have 4 types of Certificates.

1. Single Domain: SecureNT Intranet SSL Certificate – Single Domain secures an Intranet Server’s Local Host Name, Server Name, internal/public IP Address, or Web page URL using Secure HTTPS protocol.

2. Multi-Domain or SAN Certificate: SecureNT Intranet SSL Certificate – Multi-Domain (1 + 4 SAN) secures an Intranet Server’s Local Host Name, Server Name, internal/public IP Address, or Web page URL plus 4 SAN values using Secure HTTPS protocol. In case you wish to secure more than 1+4 SAN, then you will have to purchase additional SANs in multiples of 5 SAN values. There is no limit to SAN values.

3. Wildcard Certificate: SecureNT Intranet SSL Certificate – Wildcard secures an Intranet Server’s Server Name or Web page URL and all sub-domains using Secure HTTPS protocol.

4. Multi-Domain Wildcard Certificate: A multi-domain wildcard certificate is an SSL/TLS certificate that combines the features of both multi-domain (SAN) certificates and wildcard certificates. Thus, it can secure different domain names, multiple wildcard subdomains, and many IP addresses with a single certificate. Instead of purchasing separate certificates for each domain and subdomain, you can manage everything with one certificate, reducing complexity and cost.

TLD is the acronym used for top-level domain. It’s the last segment of a domain name after the final dot.

A great example of a TDL is: .com

The IANA officially recognizes three types of TLDs:

• gTLD – Generic Top-Level Domains
• ccTLD – Country Code Top-Level Domains
• sTLD – Sponsored Top-Level Domains Your TLD plays an important role in the Domain Name System (DNS). For more information click here.

Instead of purchasing separate certificates for each domain and subdomain, you can manage everything with one certificate, reducing complexity and cost.

Multi-Domain Wildcard SSL Certificates can function as both a Wildcard and a Multi-Domain certificate. You can place wildcard value (an asterisk or star) in the SAN field.

Simplified Management: Easier to manage and renew compared to handling multiple individual certificates.

We offer a 7-day Free trial of Multi-Domain Wildcard Certificate.

A Multi-Domain (or Subject Alternative Name-SAN) certificate can support multiple domains, server names, and IP Addresses with a single domain. They reduce SSL cost and maintenance by using a single certificate for multiple websites using SAN. These certificates are more flexible than Wildcard certificates since they are not limited to a single domain.

Note: Only non-Wildcard names can be added as SAN.

Certificates are valid for a period ranging from 1 to 10 years. One can install the certificate on unlimited servers. We offer a 7-day Free Multi-Domain Certificate.

SecureNT Intranet SSL Certificate – Single Domain secures an Intranet Server’s Local Host Name, Server Name, internal/public IP Address, or Web page URL using Secure HTTPS protocol.

Certificates are valid for a period ranging from 1 to 10 years. One can install the certificate on unlimited servers.

We offer a 30-day Free Single Domain Certificate.

A Wildcard certificate is a single certificate with a wildcard character (* – star) in the domain name field. This allows the certificate to secure multiple subdomain names of the same base domain.

For example, a wildcard certificate for *.(domainname).com, could be used for www.(domainname).com, mail.(domainname).com, blog.(domainname).com, etc. Also, a special case of (domainname).com is also secured.

Certificates are valid for a period ranging from 1 to 10 years. One can install the certificate on unlimited servers. We offer a 7-day Free Wildcard Certificate.

An Intranet SSL certificate is a Private/non-Public SSL (TLS) Certificate issued by SecureNT.

Technically, it is similar to the SSL certificates issued by Public CAs (like DigiCert, GlobalSign, Entrust, Sectigo, or Let’s Encrypt) but it is used on internal networks or private sites.

Thus, the Intranet SSL certificate is installed on the servers of an internal private network. After installation, whenever a user (client PC) on a local network connects to this server using a browser, all data flowing between the client PC and the server is encrypted and no one can read it, even with snooping tools.

Thus, confidential data and passwords flowing on the internal network remain secure from unauthorized users and even hackers.

We strongly believe in customer satisfaction. Our sales, SSL certificate issuance, and support policies are designed to meet customer needs.

Multi-Domain Wildcard SSL Certificates gives you the flexibility to secure many different domains, sub-domains and IPs, while also reducing the burdens of managing individual certificates for each.

CA/Browser Forum (CA/B), the regulatory body that governs the SSL industry, does not allow Public CAs to issue Public SSL Certificates to Private Internal Networks covered under IETF RFC 1918.

So, internal/private Servers have to use SSL Certificates from non-public CAs or Self-Signed Certificates.

Of course, some of these Public CAs do issue Intranet/non-Public SSL Certificates using non-Public Root Certificates. SecureNT Intranet SSL does the same but offers it quickly and at a much more attractive price.

Single-domain and Multi-Domain certificates allow one to get SSL certificates for internal or external IP Addresses, Server Names, and localhosts.
