Subdomain; overall cheaper after a certain point to get a wildcard cert, and if you split your services up without a reverse proxy it's easier to direct names to different servers.
Who still pays for certs?? (I say this as non-snarkily as possible.) I just imagined everyone self-hosting uses Let's Encrypt.
Let's encrypt is fine for encryption but not identification. I have some stuff which I prefer that on, specifically around demonstrating services that I host at home in the workplace. Having full verification just reduces the questions I have to deal with. It's like $90/year for a wildcard.
Wow, okay! I guess that's a different use case than what I'm typically doing.
Do you buy an EV certificate for that? Seems a bit excessive.
