StartSSL will let you do a multi-domain wildcard cert for $75 for 2-years (with identity verification). You toss all of your root domains on a single cert as wildcards, and use it everywhere. Cert lasts for 2 years and can be updated at any time to add new wildcard domains to it. You could in theory get 4 years out of it by adding a domain on the last day if your identity verification 2-year cycle, which refreshes the 2 years on the cert. I use this method and it is awesome. One big multi-domain wildcard cert for everything.

I manage many domain names all pointing to a single IP.

  I believe you need to buy the identity cert first ($60/year) and then the org cert ($60/year), so more like $120 a year if you want the org cert, but still a good deal.

    StartSSL seem technically competent, but at the $100+ per year they no longer become the cheapest and I don't have to put up with their dodgy-as-hell website. Comodo via Namecheap seem to have better pricing and less weirdness: https://www.namecheap.com/ssl-certificates/comodo/multi-domain-ssl.aspx https://www.namecheap.com/ssl-certificates/comodo/multi-doma... Edit: I take that back. The above link is deceptive and the price charged is for the default number of domains that come with the package. Any additional domains cost extra. This is such a headache already. Lets not devolve this thread into price comparisons and end it here.

      That's $120/year for unlimited certs (for the same owner) though...

        yup - shopping around isn't coming up with any actual competitors for StartSSL. Would love to know if there are any. Selling the boss on giving copies of a lot of personally identifying (sensitive) information to a company with that kind of site is going to be hard :( If only they didn't look like they were 10 years old...

Sounds good, but StartCom's certificates don't appear to be recognized by Oracle's Java out of the box; this should be a show-stopper for anyone who is providing a Web API.
