What is Zero SSL and Custom SSL?

We offer two SSL types to help you manage and use an SSL certificate for your domain: Zero SSL and Custom SSL

Zero SSL is a free SSL generation tool, while Custom SSL enables you to upload your own SSL certificate. One of these SSLs has to be installed on all CDNs to ensure encryption between the user’s browser and CDN.

Zero SSL

If you don't have an SSL certificate, you have the option to use Zero SSL to generate one for free. The Zero SSL feature is fully integrated into the platform when you choose to use VNIS DNS (e.g. during the onboarding process). This feature gives you a seamless SSL generation, activation, and management experience for all your domains. Zero SSL will also auto-renew upon expiring, so no manual renewal is required.

Custom SSL

If you already have an SSL certificate or you prefer to purchase your own, you can upload it to the platform and assign it to a domain. Please note that we only support X.509 SSL at this time.

Since you own the SSL certificate, VNIS won't able to renew it upon expiring. You're required to purchase a new one and re-upload it.
