Need a SSL with 4 Subject Alternate Names
-
Our current SSL certificate was originally purchased through GoDaddy because, well they always have a good sale price when buying new things. I knew the renewal may not be worth it when that time came.
Well it has come. So I am looking for alternate providers to get a SSL vert for bundystl.com plus 4 SAN.
Here is the godaddy renewal cost.

I am not saying this price is horrible. But I have not shopped pricing in a while and I want to take at least a little time now to compare.
-
Shame they don't have multi-year discounts.

Seems cheap compared to Symantec https://www.symantec.com/ssl-certificates/
Wish I could be of more help, but I've just used the free StartSSL certs for non critical stuff.

Free certs do not handle multiple SAN from my research.

Yeah, like I said I was just trying to price shop.

Correct.

How about this from RapidSSL?

As a follow up, I renewed with GoDaddy for a year. No benefit to multi year and less work on my part since all I had to do was click renew.
I do look forward to seeing more about the Let's Encrypt initiative by this time next year.

one benefit is not having to touch it for 2+ years.
Does Let's Encrypt give SAN certs? I was under the impression that it's for single one off type situations where people don't have the cash to purchase their own cert, most likely being used by someone self hosting (or single site/server hosting).

If it is free, there is no reason not to get 4 or 5 certs instead of a SAN for most things.

Stupid question time (cause I don't know) can you install multiple certs on the same server?

I don't know about apache, but with NGINX each virtual host can have it's own.
