[Let's Encrypt] Wildcard Certificates Coming January 2018
https://letsencrypt.org/2017/07/06/wildcard-certificates-coming-jan-2018.html
Let's Encrypt will begin issuing wildcard certificates in
January of 2018. Wildcard certificates are a commonly
requested feature and we understand that there are some use
cases where they make HTTPS deployment easier. Our hope is
that offering wildcards will help to accelerate the Web's
progress towards 100% HTTPS. Let's Encrypt is currently
securing 47 million domains via our fully automated DV
certificate issuance and management API. This has contributed
heavily to the Web going from 40% to 58% encrypted page loads
since Let's Encrypt's service became available in December
2015. If you're excited about wildcard availability and our
mission to get to a 100% encrypted Web, we ask that you
contribute to our summer fundraising campaign. A wildcard
certificate can secure any number of subdomains of a base
domain (e.g. *.example.com). This allows administrators to use
a single certificate and key pair for a domain and all of its
subdomains, which can make HTTPS deployment significantly
easier.
