SSL certificates fro my remote server

[skunkwrks]

Hi guys, i have a Synolgy server at work and want to get files from it via windows explorer but i use a sub domain like www.server.doamin.com , do i get a SSL certificate fro www.server.domina.com or www.doamin.com ?

Do you need a cert to cover multiple domains and sub domains? If yes, then you can get a SAN cert.
If you only need a cert for 'server.domain.com' then get a single name cert for 'server.domain.com'.

Don't worry about the www part it's usually assumed and added the cert automatically.

Hello, so what i found was my server needs a SSL, my domain is just a access point to my server, my hosing provider said its my server nit my domain name.

I have a Synology unit and ive tried to get an SSL cert from a 3rd party but i still get the unsecured www.s.mydpmainname.com

Synology offers a cert but it doesnt work so i just got a cheap SSL to add but nothing.

Wait a minute.
Do you have control of the domain name in question (domain.com)? Have you registered it at a domain registrar (GoDaddy, Network Solutions, etc.)? Is this just a name you made up for the Synology?
