Domain extensions managed by Google Registry are required to operate within a secure namespace, meaning you will need an SSL Certificate installed on your website before it can be viewed in a browser. These domain names come pre-submitted to the HSTS Preload list, which in effect makes them HTTPS-only. If you require an SSL certificate, you can purchase one through the VentraIP website or your VIPcontrol account. Alternatively, if you have a hosting service with VentraIP, you will be provided with a free Auto SSL Certificate. Auto SSL Certificates are installed automatically on your web hosting service. In the event that you purchase an SSL Certificate through a third-party provider and need assistance installing it on your VentraIP hosting service, please contact our technical support team. What will happen if I don’t have an SSL Certificate installed? Frankly speaking, your website won’t be accessible and a browser error will occur when you visit your domain name if it uses one of the below extensions:
  • “.app”
  • “.boo”
  • “.dad”
  • “.day”
  • “.dev”
  • “.esq”
  • “.foo”
  • “.how”
  • “.ing”
  • “.meme”
  • “.mov”
  • “.nexus”
  • “.page”
  • “.phd”
  • “.prof”
  • “.rsvp”
  • “.soy”
  • “.zip”
