How to manage multiple domains?

SSLcat provides powerful multi-domain management features, allowing you to centrally manage SSL certificates and forwarding configurations for multiple business domains.

Multi-Domain Configuration Structure

Define multiple domains in the configuration file:

# Multi-domain configuration example
certificates:
  - domain: "example.com"
    validation: "http"
    auto_renew: true
  
  - domain: "www.example.com"
    validation: "http"
    auto_renew: true
  
  - domain: "api.example.com"
    validation: "http"
    auto_renew: true
  
  - domain: "admin.example.com"
    validation: "http"
    auto_renew: true

proxies:
  - domain: "example.com"
    target: "http://localhost:3000"
    protocol: "http"
  
  - domain: "www.example.com"
    target: "http://localhost:3000"
    protocol: "http"
  
  - domain: "api.example.com"
    target: "http://localhost:8080"
    protocol: "http"
  
  - domain: "admin.example.com"
    target: "http://localhost:9000"
    protocol: "http"

Wildcard Certificate Management

Simplify multi-domain management with wildcard certificates:

# Wildcard certificate configuration
certificates:
  - domain: "*.example.com"
    validation: "dns"
    dns_provider: "cloudflare"
    dns_credentials:
      api_token: "your-api-token"
    auto_renew: true

proxies:
  - domain: "www.example.com"
    target: "http://localhost:3000"
    certificate: "*.example.com"
  
  - domain: "api.example.com"
    target: "http://localhost:8080"
    certificate: "*.example.com"
  
  - domain: "admin.example.com"
    target: "http://localhost:9000"
    certificate: "*.example.com"

Bulk Certificate Operations

Supports bulk certificate management operations:

• Bulk Request - Request certificates for multiple domains at once
• Bulk Renewal - Renew all certificates in bulk
• Bulk Download - Download all certificates in a package
• Bulk Import - Import certificate files in bulk

Domain Group Management

Manage domains by grouping them by business or environment:

# Group by environment
certificates:
  production:
    - domain: "example.com"
    - domain: "www.example.com"
    - domain: "api.example.com"
  
  staging:
    - domain: "staging.example.com"
    - domain: "staging-api.example.com"
  
  development:
    - domain: "dev.example.com"
    - domain: "dev-api.example.com"

Automated Operations

Automated management for multiple domains:

• Auto Request - Automatically request certificates for new domains
• Auto Renewal - Periodically check and renew certificates
• Auto Deploy - Automatically deploy certificates after renewal
• Auto Monitoring - Monitor the status of all domain certificates

Admin Panel Operations

Manage multiple domains through the web admin panel:

• Domain List - View all configured domains
• Certificate Status - Display the certificate status for each domain
• Bulk Actions - Select multiple domains for bulk operations
• Group View - Display domains by group

Monitoring and Alerting

Multi-domain monitoring features:

• Certificate Expiry Monitoring - Monitor the expiration dates of all certificates
• Domain Health Checks - Periodically check domain accessibility
• Bulk Alerts - Send alert notifications in bulk
• Statistical Reports - Generate statistical reports for multiple domains

Best Practices

Best practices for multi-domain management:

• Proper Planning - Plan your domain structure according to business needs
• Use Wildcards - Use wildcard certificates whenever possible
• Group Management - Manage by environment or business groups
• Automated Operations - Enable automated management features
• Regular Checks - Periodically check certificate status

With SSLcat's multi-domain management features, you can easily manage SSL certificates and forwarding configurations for a large number of domains.
