A not so obvious prompt is Common Name (eg, YOUR Name). This value should not be your name. Instead it should be the base domain name of your website. In our example, it will be earth.com. If you prefer using www in your domain name, then choose www.earth.com.
StartSSL includes the base domain always in the Subject Alternative Name extension together with the chosen common name so both www.myrapham.com and myrapham.com will have ssl support.
