Flex certificates
DigiCert offers TLS certificates that support different types of domain configurations. Some can be ordered as single-domain or multi-domain certificates, while others can be ordered with any combination of fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) and wildcard domains.

This allows you to order the certificates you want and add additional subject alternative names (SANs) during your certificates' lifetime without changing products. These certificates do not have dedicated multi-domain or wildcard versions. Instead, you add those as you configure the base certificate.

Configuration
All DigiCert SSL certificates allow you to cover both the base domain and the www subdomain at no added cost. With flex certificates, you must include both versions in your request, because they will not be added automatically. This also applies to Wildcards (example.com available for free with *.example.com) and multi-level subdomains ( www.sub.example.com available for free with sub.example.com). If you are using the API, read how to configure your API request to include both versions of the domain for free.
The common name and SANs listed in your CSR are ignored. You must include all domains you want covered in your CertCentral or API request.
