SAN (Subject Alternative Names) is ideal for protecting multiple domains. However, the enterprise can have higher costs if it purchases individual certificates when they have to secure more than one domain. To solve this issue, CAs offer SAN or multi-domain certificates that save an enterprise’s cost and strong encryption. An enterprise can secure up to 100 SANs during the certificate lifetime.
