This plugin cannot use HTTP DCV challenges to issue certificates for wildcard domains. If you use the LetвЂ™s Encrypt plugin to issue certificates for wildcard domains, be aware that: In this example, this includes the and domains. When the issued certificate contains the *. wildcard domain, that certificate also matches all first-level subdomains of. The LetвЂ™s Encrypt provider lets AutoSSL acquire a certificate for only the and *. domains. This also allows users to secure more domains without reaching LetвЂ™s EncryptвЂ™s domain limits.ДЇor example, your, and domains share a website. This helps reduce the size of SSL certificates, which will reduce the time of the SSL/TLS handshake process. The LetвЂ™s Encrypt provider allows AutoSSL to use wildcard domains to reduce the number of domains for each certificate. The certificate covers all domains listed in the certificateвЂ™s Subject Alternative Name (SAN) field. An SSL certificateвЂ™s CN does not need to be the main domain.The Common Name (CN) entry of an SSL certificate is cosmetic and does not affect the security of a certificate.For more information on generating SSL certificates, read our Generate an SSL Certificate and Signing Request documentation. LetвЂ™s Encrypt provides all future SSL and Wildcard SSL certificates when you select LetвЂ™s Encrypt as your default provider.For more information, read our Manage AutoSSL documentation. It only generates SSL certificates for your cPanel accounts.

This plugin does not generate hostname certificates for your systemвЂ™s services.
