I really hope so.
The cost to providers is exactly the same for a wildcard and a standard certificate, and yet they costs hundreds of dollars. It's unbelievable it's lasted this long
- hamandcheese 9y agoIt’s not that unbelievable, what software service are you aware of that is sold at only it’s marginal cost?
- staticfish 9y agoIt's not "software" in the historic sense, like buying Photoshop or a paying for hosted Slack service. It's literally a command to generate a certificate from their root CA chain. Yes there's obviously business costs, and they have to employ people to do verification, etc (which they often do a terrible job at), but I think you see what the parent is getting at..
