      Hello,

      We have SSL certificate for our domain only for *.website.com,

      And now, we have few subdomains, as you know, we have two choices:

      1. Using HTTPS for subdomain https://me.website.com, while it has problem with https://www.me.website.com (SSL error)

      2. Using HTTP for subdomain, which has www and non-www with redirects.

      Which one is good for us?

        Very few people will be typing https://www.me.website.com, so I believe that you will be fine with https://me.website.com.
