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