They just chose to have a hosted blog from Wordpress with a custom domain, Wordpress chose to use a Let's Encrypt certificate and to lump a bunch of different customers' custom domains into one certificate request hence the alt names.
- oarsinsync 10y agoLots of sites using the same private key. Could this be potentially problematic?
- corin_ 10y agoI wouldn't think so... Wordpress keeps the private key themselves the customers won't have access to it.
- tombrossman 10y agoNot really, the host is already trusted (as explained in the parent comment). The domain owner is free to obtain a different certificate with a new private key that only they know if they wish. When you choose to use shared hosting you are already delegating plenty of trust so it's reasonable to use the host's private key.
