This is not the best way to do it.
Who the cert is issued to is really not that important in these
applications.
The wildcard cert is the only way to do Namebased Virtual hosting with
SSL. Since they all use the same cert, it actually does work.
Each cert requires its own IP, and that's just not feasible.
These applications are just as secure and valid, the cert is issued to
the ISP, and it verifies to the consumer that the site is at the
proper location.
