 * I have installed a multi site wordpress platform with wildcard ssl(for all my
   subdomains), this ssl will expire next month and I want to cut some costs.
 * So, I need to know if I can switch between wildcard ssl to basic ssl for all 
   my subdomains, if it does not cause any trouble between my multi platform and
   the basic ssls.

 * This is something you will need to discuss with your host, as WordPress is not
   really relevant to the conversation. You will need certificates that cover all
   your subdomains if you want to keep your network sites on [https://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/switch-between-wildcard-ssl-to-basic/?output_format=md),
   but the exact method you use to achieve that does not matter to WordPress.

 * You can get a SAN certificate, it does include multiple hostnames (Subject Alternate
   names), about 500 hostnames can be listed (however this will slowdown SSL handshake
   due to certificate will need to split to several TCP packets)
 * You can also switch certification authority, LetsEncrypt offers free SAN certificates
   and there is a way to get wildcard if you need to.
