This is a crazy setup.

It's not just Comodo which now covers both addresses, even very cheap SSL Certificates cover both - so Geo Trust is the exception to the rule - and when your hosts say that SSL is only valid for a single subdomain they are talking only about the Geo Trust certificate they installed.

Up until 3 years ago we used to buy Geo Trust SSLs for our customers, but switched to Comodo because Geo Trust's Support was so appalling. There is no Geo Trust Support outside of USA office hours or on USA Public Holidays - they forget that their products are sold all around the world.

they shouldnt end up ever going to the http://mydomain.co.uk if theres a redirect on the main page to the www.mydomain.co.uk, and should always stay on that subdomain shouldnt they ?

Seen as though im in contract, ill shop around in afew months time and look elsewhere for my hosting and certificate i think.
