- DigiCert provides five type of server certificates.
- The experience of recent years shows that the server certificates are the ones requested the most.
if you don't know which certificate you should order, opt for Unified Communications . - If you are thinking to apply for SSL Plus choose instead anyway a Unified Communications and choose EV SSL Plus instead of EV Multi Domain.
- Moreover the SSL Plus version doesn't support Subject Alternative Names, or 4096 bit keys.
- In Unified Communications it is possible to have 25 Subject Alternative Names.
- The WildCard Plus variant unfortunately has no free choice Subject Alternative Names. They are limited to one Common Name (* .an.example.nl), but the corresponding non-wild domain (an.example.nl) will be included in the certificate.
Digicert might change this in the future, but at the moment there is no sure date when this will happen.
- Make moderately use of Extended Validation certificates. Use them for your important public Web sites, but not for server-server connections and choose a policy that does justice to the terms of use .
