Curious why you can't just have a redirect to always go to www. ?

Yes, that's a fair question. Let's change it from "domain.com" and "www.domain.com" to "domain.com" and "sub.domain.com" then so that the original question doesn't get changed.

Actually.. your situation is incredibly common and most cheap certificates cover the www and root domain. I just looked at godaddy's site and it reads..
"> 1 certificate protects www.securemywebsites.net AND securemywebsites.net"
In your case a real wildcard would be unnecessary.

I wish I could change the top post so that I referenced two subdomains instead of what I wrote (www.domain.com and sub.domain.com). I'm just trying to understand if there's going to be a search penalty/trust lost if we switch to a wildcard certificate.

You essentially lose nothing with a wildcard in the way of security. domain.com and *.domain.com are secured. So if for some reason you have https:// indexed urls, then that won't hurt or change anything.

Thank you for your reply. I'm not concerned about "security" - I'm worried about getting a search penalty or being put in a sandbox b/c we opted for a wildcard cert instead of a non-wildcard cert.

I don't think it will be problem in Google's eye if you add SSL to your domain !

I haven't read or seen anything that would lead me to believe there is a risk.
