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