SSL Certificates for Your Domain
Buy and manage SSL certificates alongside your domains. Name.ai helps you secure websites with HTTPS, automate renewal, receive expiry alerts and manage wildcard or multi-domain certificates from one dashboard.
Why Every Website Needs HTTPS
HTTPS encrypts the connection between your site and its visitors, and it is what stops the browser showing a security warning over your content. That warning is the practical reason most sites move: it appears before anyone reads a word of the page.
Without SSL Certificate
Browsers show a 'Not Secure' warning
Visitor data travels unencrypted and can be intercepted
Payment processors and many SaaS integrations will not connect
Search engines treat HTTPS as a positive signal, so you forgo it
The warning undermines visitor trust
With SSL Certificate
Padlock icon — a recognised trust signal
Encrypted connection for all visitors
Payment gateway and SaaS compatibility
HTTPS, which search engines treat as a positive signal
No browser warning to explain away
Unlike buying SSL from a third-party provider and managing it separately, Name.ai SSL certificates live alongside your domains in your portfolio dashboard.
Buy an SSL certificate from Name.ai
Buy a certificate for any domain in your portfolio without leaving the dashboard, and manage your domains in one dashboard alongside it. A certificate is issued for a domain name rather than for a registrar, so this works whether or not the domain is registered with Name.ai.
One-click purchase: Buy an SSL certificate for any domain in your portfolio without leaving the dashboard.
Managed SSL with auto-renewal and expiry alerts
An expired certificate is an outage: browsers block the page outright rather than degrading quietly. Renewal runs automatically, and alerts still fire on a schedule so a failed renewal is visible before it becomes downtime.
Auto-renewal: SSL certificates are renewed automatically before expiry. No manual tracking, no downtime risk.
Expiry alerts: Receive alerts 30 and 7 days before your certificate expires — even if auto-renewal is enabled.
Wildcard and multi-domain SSL certificates
A standard certificate covers one hostname. A wildcard certificate covers every subdomain under a domain, and a multi-domain certificate covers several distinct domains — which is usually the cheaper and more maintainable option once you are running more than a handful of properties.
Wildcard & multi-domain options: Protect subdomains and multiple domains under a single certificate for enterprise and multi-product setups.
SSL installation support
Issuing a certificate and installing it are separate jobs, and the second one differs by web server and host. Support covers the installation itself across major hosting platforms and servers, so a certificate does not sit unused after purchase.

SSL vs HTTPS: what is the difference?
SSL is the certificate
The certificate proves the site controls its domain and supplies the keys used to encrypt traffic. It is the thing you buy, install and renew — and the thing that expires.
HTTPS is the result
HTTPS is the protocol the browser speaks once a valid certificate is in place. You cannot buy HTTPS on its own; it is what having a working certificate gets you.
A certificate confirms that traffic to a domain is encrypted. It does not vouch for who is behind a lookalike domain — that is what brand protection covers, since a phishing site can hold a perfectly valid certificate of its own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about SSL certificates
In practice, yes. Browsers flag every plain HTTP site as 'Not Secure' regardless of what it does, and search engines treat HTTPS as a positive signal. Even a brochure site or landing page shows a warning to visitors without one.
Yes. An SSL certificate is issued for a domain name, not for a registrar. You can purchase through Name.ai and install the certificate wherever your site is hosted — our support team will walk you through it.
SSL is the certificate that proves your site owns its domain and enables encryption. HTTPS is what the browser speaks once that certificate is installed. You buy SSL; HTTPS is the result.
A wildcard certificate covers all subdomains of a single domain, such as app and mail under one name. A multi-domain certificate covers several separate domains under one certificate. Which is cheaper depends on whether your properties share a root domain.
