Why? What is the point of paying for a TLS Wildcard certificate when Lets Encrypt offers them for free? If your unaware, the browser developers have been cracking down on the shady dealings of most CAs, distrusting Symantec, WoSign & StartCom and tightening requirements, reducing allowed certificate validity periods and similar.
How long will 3rd party CAs that charge an arm and a leg survive as their differentiators (long certificate validity & Extended Validation TLS) are restricted or hidden in the UI? What value do they actually provide?
Is $0 reasonable? I'd recommend Let's Encrypt. The certificates only last for 90 days, but that's actually better for security. The entire system is automated, so you shouldn't even have to worry about the expiry date.
I'm using Certbot + acme-dns to get wildcard certificates for my sites. It works pretty well.
If you have any trouble getting Certbot working, try acme.sh - It's a shell script that only needs cURL and OpenSSL to be installed.
check gogetssl.com
TrustOcean.com
SSLs.com - A brand of Namecheap

You can get 2yrs wildcard for $89 from OnlineNIC: https://www.onlinenic.com/en/Certificates/certificatesinfo/404.html
Thesslstore do some really good SSL deals.
Thanks for comments. Purchased from https://www.onlinenic.com/
Letsencrypt was not an option here per the client's requirement. They did not want to go with a "free" for a commercial solution.
Of course not.
EDIT2:
For a commercial solution you want Maserati SSL.
€ 84,99 ex. VAT for 2 years at https://www.versio.eu/sslcertificates/order/13/2-year
What you really need is TheendisnighSSL.com provides free EV SSLs because why not!
Not the cheapest company, much better to use the gogetssl.com as they are cheaper than namecheap!
This always leaves me skeptical all these sites which are exclusively talking about SSL, whereas this protocol is forbidden since 2014 ... In the other hand, lot of non British people are still using GMT, whereas this was replaced by UTC in ... 1972 ...
Next lowendstartup sell Let's Encrypt SSL to people who don't want a free product
I bet it already exists
SSL can’t protect you if your root password is ‘password’ :P
Let's Encrypt is, by design, much closer to how a Web Of Trust is intended to operate, vs. trusting individual private organizations to do everything correctly> @doghouch said:
Client certs beg to differ
+1 for gogetssl. That's where I send people to, too, who need a cert. for some formal reason. LE isn't a solution but a problem extension imo.
