SSL requirements

These domains require SSL certificates to load successfully in browsers and require resellers to inform registrants of additional details during the checkout process.  Second-level domains under these TLDs will only load on modern browsers if a valid SSL certificate is configured, and the web server is serving HTTPS.

Domains added to the HSTS Preload list:

  • .APP
  • .BOO
  • .CHANNEL
  • .DAD
  • .DEV
  • .ESQ
  • .FOO
  • .MOV
  • .PAGE
  • .NEXUS
  • .PHD
  • .PROF

Registration language requirements

Resellers must present the following information to registrants during the checkout process before registering one of these domains:

  • The domains are more secure because they are HSTS preloaded.
  • The requirement to configure HTTPS serving so that browsers can load the respective websites.
  • The resources about configuring HTTPS and obtaining an SSL certificate.

Resellers can provide this information as an external or internal website or window. The information should include details on configuring HTTPS for browsing or linking to a third-party resource such as Let's Encrypt.

Sample notice for resellers

We've created a sample notice for resellers that meets all of the listed requirements:

.APP, .BOO, .CHANNEL, .DAD, .DEV, .ESQ , .FOO, .MOV, .PAGE, .NEXUS, .PHD, .PROF, .RSVP, and .ZIP domains are secure domains that require HTTPS for all websites of these TLD types. You can buy your .APP, .BOO, .DAD, .DEV, .ESQ , .FOO, .MOV, .PAGE, .NEXUS, .PHD, .PROF, .RSVP, and .ZIP domain name now, but for it to work correctly in any browser, you must first configure HTTPS serving.
