# Multi-domain (SAN/UCC) SSL certificates compared

A multi-domain certificate (also called SAN or UCC) lists several different hostnames in its Subject Alternative Name extension, such as example.com and example.net. The base price usually includes a few names; each extra name costs more.

## What to check before buying

- Read how many names the base price includes: sellers count the primary domain differently.
- Every listed name is visible to anyone who inspects the certificate or searches Certificate Transparency logs.
- Adding or removing a name means reissuing the certificate for every server that uses it.
- If the hostnames belong to different teams or servers, separate free ACME certificates are often simpler.
