The difference in coverage of www and non-www hostnames is determined by the technical features of a particular SSL. Single-domain and Wildcard certificates we provide support coverage of both www and non-www domains.
Multi-Domain Certificates consider www.example.com and example.com to be two different domains.
The tables below represent www and non-www support for all SSL certificates offered by us.
