Question Https solution for a domain with 180 domain alias

[Erwan]

Hi all,

We have a primary domain that has 180 domain alias.
All must point to the same content...

Do you know a solution to switch the website and all aliases to https?
Two years ago, we tried with Let's encrypt but there was a limit on the number of aliases (50 I think).

Thanks a lot for your ideas....

Let's Encrypt has a limit of 100 domains in a single SAN certificate, so it can't be used.

We haven't had such a case before so I didn't do the research, but here are some ideas and some things to look into:
- using several certificates for the same server might be a solution, this will require a custom setup
- having a large number of domains in a single certificate affects performance
- some clients can have issues with certificates with a large number of domains.

Do research alternative certificate providers as some might be offering more than 100 domains in a single certificate. Although, perhaps some alternative route might have decisive advantages in terms of performance and reliability.

But the big question is: what is going on that a website needs 180 aliases?
