.FOO Security Requirements
.foo is a secured namespace, meaning that websites using a .foo domain require an SSL certificate to work; .foo 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.
.foo 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 .foo must be aware of this security requirement, including that:
- .foo is a secure namespace, and
- HTTPS is required for all .foo 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.
