Sure, but $500 isn't. none wildcard certs are simply too limited. Just
remember that most people tend to skip the "www." if they visit a site
by typing the name in the address bar. So, you either have to rewrite or
redirect or use other means to channel all your https needs thru one
single domain. That's just ridiculous. And don't forget that there are
other uses, for instance securing your mail server connections. It's
somewhat odd to name your in- and outgoing mail servers www.site.com or
if you have several machines for this purpose name them internally all
by the same name. (I know, most mail clients do not bark about
differences at the moment but they may in the future like browsers
already do.)
