Services

HTTPS works best when the domain and DNS story is already coherent.

Vercel can provision certificates automatically for correctly configured domains. This page explains the process; it does not change DNS, issue a certificate, or claim that a current certificate is active.

HTTPS / TLS

Encrypted transport

A certificate helps browsers validate encrypted connections to a domain.

Vercel

Automatic provisioning

Correctly connected domains can receive managed certificates through Vercel’s platform.

Coverage

Apex and www

Plan whether both the apex domain and www hostname should resolve and redirect consistently.

Validation

DNS must agree

Certificate validation depends on correct DNS records and adequate propagation time.

Renewal

Managed lifecycle

Automatic renewal behavior depends on the platform and a continuing valid domain configuration.

Troubleshooting

Mixed content

A secure certificate does not fix insecure images, scripts, or other browser-blocked mixed content.

Custom certificates

Use when needed

Some enterprise or legacy needs require a separate reviewed certificate approach and should be scoped first.

Before you ask for help

Bring the hostname, DNS owner, and exact browser error.

That makes a support intake safer and more useful without sending a public page access to a provider account.
