.DAD Security Requirements
.dad is a secured namespace, meaning that websites using a .dad domain require an SSL certificate to work; .dad websites can only be accessed by web browsers using HTTPS through an encrypted and secured connection.
SSL certificates may be purchased through the BA Control Panel.
.dad 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 .dad must be aware of this security requirement, including that:
- .dad is a secure namespace, and
- HTTPS is required for all .dad 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.
