Wild card SSL certs are cheap these days, there is no excuse to why someone wouldn't be rocking an SSL cert on their site these days. The excuse of "extra load on the processors" was dead 10+ years ago.
well if they were to put the API on api.snapzu.com, have a developer portal and so on they might branch into a few different subdomains, so rather than pay $35 odd per domain variation, I thought that I'd throw out the wildcard info since it's $150 I think I bought my last one for.
If they go with Cloudflare, they basically get free SSL as well.
okay. 150 is a lot less than when I looked at them last. They originally were going for 1500 bucks a pop. Did a quick check and the cheapest I found were 500 bucks. But, I don't shop for a whole lot of SSL certs- whenever I need one, I normally just get one from startssl, or use whatever company's cert I'm working with.

SSL certs can be free. But, they're pretty low priced these days (<$50) anyway.
Wildcard certs are basically for unlimited subdomains. Probably not going to be in Snapzu's use case for an API.
