Question

Load balancer SSL Multi Domains

Hi

I have 3 domains and i want to use SLL with one load balancer.

Will Digital Ocean allow me to use a Multi domain SSl purchased from Namecheap for all 3 domains on 1 load balancer?

I have read if i use the free Let’s encrypt SSL it only allows me to use 1 domain per SSL and i will need to purchase 3 Load Balancers (one for each domain/SSL) .

Hello @tomrproactive ,

your correct you can only attach one domain + its subdomains to an SSL.

There is an option to bring your own SSL where you could bring a multidomain cert from elsewhere.

Hi, I’d also like to request this, we sale wordpress subsites hosted on a single installation and when the users want to add their own domain the extra cost of the load balancer just to configure their certificate is hindering our competitive edge.

We would like this feature too and for the external domains using CNAME’ing like Heroku or Render or your own App Platform do it. Even the open-source app platform Coolify can do this.
