Editing DAY (section)

= .DAY Security Requirements =

.day is a secured namespace, meaning that websites using a .day domain require an SSL certificate to work; .day websites can only be accessed by web browsers using HTTPS through an encrypted and secured connection. 

SSL certificates may be purchased through the HEXONET Control Panel or via API. More information on SSL certificates, including purchasing and obtaining certificates and API documentation, may be found here. 

.day domain names that do not have an SSL certificate configured may still be used for email and other non-browser based uses.

Important: Please note that upon registration, registrants of .day must be aware of this security requirement, including that:

    .day is a secure namespace, and 

    HTTPS is required for all .day websites, as they will be encrypted by default and will not allow insecure connections 

Additionally, registrants must be provided with resources about configuring HTTPS and obtaining an SSL certificate for their domain.
