    In the case you want to order a multiple-domains / SANs certificate, just enter the main address in the CSR. This one cannot be change during your certificate lifetime. Enter the other address to secure in the order form (those ones can be modified via reissuance).

    N.B.: Using certificates with internal names (xxx.local, yyy.priv, machine_name) or a domain that is not registered or controlled by IANA is disapproved by the CA/Browsers Forum and won't be accepted anymore by November 2015 (learn more).
