If I'm reading this correctly this is a certificate for a single domain registered with EuroDNS and does not include a wildcard.

Alternatively you could use CloudFlare's Universal SSL: https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-universal-ssl/

That allows CloudFlare to MITM your SSL, so I'm torn on whether it's better than plaintext. Sure, it reduces the points where people can read your data down to one, but it also makes SSL go from "definitely secure to the server" to "probably secure".
Do you feel the same way about SSL termination on an Amazon ELB?
Yeah, as well as hosting on AWS.
Also, running on a CPU you didn't hand-solder.
I think the gain drops off sharply after hosting on your own server.
