I am trying to self host a website, I’m using a load balancer called Kemp and a wildcard SSL from Cloudflare. I finally have an understanding of how Kemp uses SSL. I registered a garbage URL for testing purposes to see if I could even make it work. Now that I have been able to make it work, I want to use my real websites URL and ditch the slow host I’ve been wasting money on all this time. Am I able to have more than 1 free wildcard SSL with Cloudflare? If not, can I throw away the garbage URL I setup for testing and use my real URL in it’s place to get wildcard SSL?
What is the wildcard certificate you are referring to?
Cloudflare provides a root + wildcard subdomain certificate (example.com, *.example.com) for each zone. You also get unlimited origin certificates, valid only for origins behind Cloudflare as it’s only trusted by Cloudflare themselves, that users don’t visit directly.
All the subdomains you listed here are covered under the standard certificate. Just don’t do www.subdomain.example.com, or similar, and you’ll be fine.
The second domain will need to be added as a new zone, and that will get you a new certificate for it
Just make sure you have SSL on the origin as well, and set the SSL Mode to Full (Strict).
