  Hello @toplisek, Can you provide some more information about how the SSL certificate was generated? For instance, is this the free cPanel-signed SSL certificate that's automatically generated for your server's hostname? Or, was some other method used to obtain this SSL certificate? Thank you.

  Hello @toplisek, We don't yet support wildcard SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt as part of the AutoSSL feature. I encourage you to vote and add feedback to the existing feature request for this at: Let's Encrypt Wildcard Certificates That said, are you sure you need a wildcard SSL certificate? If you are seeking to add SSL certificates for your existing subdomains, then the AutoSSL feature will automatically detect new subdomains and include them with the SSL certificates associated with the account. Thank you.

  WP Multisite demands Wildcard when you use SUBdomains. In other way it should be added manually. So, it is the best option when you have many SUBdomains like 250.

  first, imo, if you plan to get to 250 or more, and plan to do WP style 'domain mapping' to your multisite subsites, use addon domains instead of parked domains at cPanel for the WP mapped domains - addons are are favorable re some AutoSSL CA limits, and also if only just for the logging, use addon domains. in any case, if you want to go for the wildcard certs, see github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/Simple-guide-to-add-TLS-cert-to-cpanel use cPanel Api2 to do the addons and subdomains - manually at command line is still faster than cPanel UI; better to automate with some kinda bash script or such, perhaps best to integrate with WP... see PHP example in cPanel docs re :addaddondomain and figure out how to make it work with WP (eg. hook to new blog creation or something) Caveat:
