On our CiviCRM, we collect tons of personal information (as I expect all CiviCRM site do). We have forms for volunteers, adopters, fosters, home visits, foster updates, etc. We also actively use events and contributions which have more personal data, of course. We have received concerns from site users our site about it not being secured and have been trying to figure out how to implement SSL certificates so all our pages. We do know that we have to pay and setup https through a provide. However, this is a small not-for-profit site and the costs must be kept extremely low. We CANNOT afford the $5000 SSL certs covering wildcard usage. The solution must be in the $100/year range. The question is how can we implement certification when we have forms, events, and contributions posting pages? Do we have to constantly update our list of page for each item when created? Each form, event (multiple pages per each) and contribution (multiple pages each)?

Thanks, Holly

A wildcard certificate means that it covers wildcard subdomains. That means that if you buy one for civicrm.org then it also covers forum.civicrm.org and xxxx.civicrm.org etc.

A standard certificate should cover your domain plus www meaning civicrm.org and www.civicrm.org, in our case.

At any rate, a standard certificate is less than $100 and the truth is that a wildcard is also less than $5,000. In fact, a wildcard can be purchased for less than $500.
