To request a 6-in-1 SSL Certificate, you must generate and submit a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) the same way you would for a regular SSL certificate request. In the CSR, enter as your common name the domain that is home to your primary Web site. A list of six possible top-level domains (TLDs) is presented. Available TLDs are ".com," ".org," ".biz," ".info," ".net," and ".us." From the list, you can uncheck any TLD(s) that you do not want applied to the certificate.

Once you have selected the applicable TLDs and submitted your certificate request, Whois database lookups are performed for the selected domains and domain verification email messages will be sent to the domain administrators. The administrator(s) must respond to each of the domain verification messages. If two or more of the domains have identical contact email addresses, a single email message that includes all of those domains is sent to the administrator for approval.

TLDs that fail to pass the domain-control verification step will be removed from the certificate before its issuance.
