Yeah, that is a new fad going on with SSL providers. Since most sites use the "www" sub-domain with they main domain, they throw it into a kind of wildcard certificate that covers those 2 names. Though some, like Verisign, will just charge you double for it since it is still covering 2 names. It's a sneaky business. I know, I resell the things. Long live capitalism. _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
