	Do SSL certificates include sub domains as well?

Solution In short, no they do not. The certificates are good only for what they were

issued for. Such as www.domain.com, but not domain.com. There are situations

where a cert would be good for a subdomain. This is called a wildcard cert.

The cert would be issued for *.domain.com, so that secure.domain.com, as well as

subdomain.domain.com would work for the cert.
