Hi

> As for vendor, Comodo EssentialSSL seems to be the cheapest,
Can you provide a link for that. Searching for it, I could only find
https://www.instantssl.com/
Which is quite a bit more expensive (£42 / $66 E51).

And (I'm not an expert) if there are lots of subdomains, might a
wildcard cert be a better bet?

Cheers
