 * banging my head aginst the wall on this
 * the main set up for multi site i have no issue with cert bot works fine, but 
   the other domains its flagging up unsecure issues
 * I use a lemp stack
 * i tried creatijng an additional nginx entry for the second domain but it takes
   down the whole site
 * i am logically out of ideas now on this
 * Multisite with 2 domains with let’s encrypt how? is generally what I am asking

 * The logical part you’re missing is that you don’t use multiple certificates.
 * Instead, you use a single certificate specifying multiple hostnames (can be any
   mixture of domains and/or subdomains) in the SAN field.
 * From [this LetsEncrypt FAQ](https://certbot.eff.org/faq/#can-i-get-a-certificate-for-multiple-domain-names-san-certificates):
 * > Can I get a certificate for multiple domain names (SAN certificates)?
   > Yes, the same certificate can apply to several different names using the Subject
   > Alternative Name (SAN) mechanism. Certbot automatically requests certificates
   > for multiple names when requested to do so. The resulting certificates will
   > be accepted by browsers for any of the domain names listed in them.

 * So I add -san to the command for certbot to issue certs?
 * This has been my only stumbling block I did try certonly expand but it does find
   the other domain

 * Hi [@riddleuk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/riddleuk/)
 * May I suggest using caddy instead of Nginx which can automate the issuance/renewal
   aspect of TLS certificates. [https://caddyserver.com](https://caddyserver.com)
