Does an SSL certificate secure both www.yourpersonaldomainname.com and yourpersonaldomainname.com

Yes, a PTGWebDomains.com SSL certificate secures the common name (domain name) listed in the certificate, with or without the "WWW" prefix.

Note:Until renewed, certificates issued prior to December 2006 only secure the exact, fully-qualified domain entered as the common name in the Certificate Signing Request (CSR). Thus, a certificate that secures "www.yourpersonaldomainname" does not secure the "yourpersonaldomainname.com."
