No, but the domain is BUY.entrust.net there is still a third level to
the domain name, the host name. And with this, it will create a

 http://entrust.net
 http://www.entrust.net
 https://buy.entrust.net

And my point is valid when moving between such site names.

https://buy.entrust.net/secure-tpl/securityseal.cfm?ID=0000A909-EAAB-1D8
1-B8DD80A9B0ACFF70-25780

There's no www in the https domain.
