What’s the distribution process like across multiple sites?
For each type, the certificate needs to be distributed after issuance to each host. For multi-domain, the certificate also needs to be re-issued and re-distributed to every site every time a new domain is added to the certificate, which is an important consideration if you plan on adding sites after the initial certificate is created.
