Usually the signed SSL cert contains both domains (Common Name) eg the short 
example.com and the long www.example.com (at least GoDaddy always adds both 
even you dont specify that).
So basically you get a simple wilcard certificate...( to look up what Common 
Names you have 'openssl x509 -in filename.crt -noout -text' )
