I'm lookig for some comments regarding using SSL to encrypt
connectivity to entire website as opposed to just certain critical
connections such as an online banking link at a financial institutions.
is this a more common practice now? Bandwidth wouldn't seem to be as big
an issue as it was in the past with dialup connections.
Can one SSL certificate be used to encrypt multiple links originating
from the same site:
https://x.domain.com
https://y.domain.com

thanks for the feedback

Yes it can. You can use a wildcard in the certificate like
*.domain.com. Then you can use your examples.
