RapidSSL Wildcard Certificate provides a most reliable solution to secure unlimited subdomains of a primary domain. RapidSSL Certificate offers the low-cost solution with high security to your website with fast issuance facility. You can secure your unlimited sub-domain through a single certificate from RapidSSL Wildcard.
Basically this.
Some web servers will now even automatically enrol and renew certificates for you, you don't need to do anything at all for HTTPS… it just happens. See https://caddyserver.com
VentraIP is one of them. I absolutely love those guys!*

Second this
*Also not affiliated with them, just a happy customer.
unfortunately, Zuver makes you manually renew your letsencrypt certificate every 90 days. a PITA and one reason I'll probably be leaving zuver/ventraip when my hosting comes up for renewal.
Let's Encrypt is fantastic, but they don't offer wildcard certificates. If you need really need a wildcard cert (and you probably don't) this looks like a good deal.
Edit: Or not, I thought it was $90 for 3 years…
Not a deal at all, so many cheaper options.
Or you could just use lets encrypt and add each sub domain..
any recommendation for cheap ssl certs?
If this was the price for 3 years, it would be ok.
I got my last one from ssl2buy, US$38 per year.
Normal ssl certificates offer insurance. I don't think letsencrypt is insured.
What does the insurance cover you, the buyer of the cert?
I use GoGetSSL for some of my SSL certificates, and they resell the same RapidSSL wildcard for USD $78.22/year for 3 years — no discount code needed.
Comodo PositiveSSL Wildcard is also cheaper at USD $58.62/year for 3 years. I used to use RapidSSL as it does not need an intermediate CA, but these days I usually just buy the cheapest (usually PositiveSSL).
As of LetsEncrypt — I use it for some sites but due to the way verification works, it does not cover all the applications.
