If you’re thinking of buying a Wildcard SSL Certificate from Network Solutions, beware it will not be valid for the base domain.

Your $400 SSL Certificate will cover

https://www.example.com
https://abc.example.com
https://whatever.example.com

But it will not cover

https://example.com

If you want SSL on example.com, you will have to buy ANOTHER SSL Certificate ($150).
I couldn’t find this fact mentioned anywhere on the Network Solutions website.
I had to call their 800 number to get an answer.

Note that some registrars do cover the base domain with their Wildcard SSL Certificates (like GoDaddy).

Not all SSL Certificates are created equal.
