Depends on Your infrasture and requirement. if you want secure channel for many multiple sub-domian and some are  on different servers, then You should go for Walidcard SSL otherwise your choose SAN/etc for2/3 sub-domians. You can buy SSL from OPENSSL, DigiCert, etc. or any local company having Reseller/acount of SSL Provider.

Others detail and configuration can provideed on demand. Thanks

Eventhough Domain Registerars like GoDaddy and HostGators give the facility to purchase SSL Certificates while buying Domain Names. Verisign is the Best Certificate Authority where you can buy SSL Certificates for your websites at Best Price.

 

And the difference between Normal SSL & Wildcard SSL is that a Wildcard SSL Can protect your Entire URL Combinations. Like, www.techhi5.com, blog.techhi5.com & so on.
