Is SSL included?
Yes. Free TLS certificates, including wildcard certificates, are issued and renewed automatically for every site. We also monitor certificate expiry and alert you before anything lapses.
Certificates are issued automatically when a site or domain is added and renewed before they expire, wildcards included. Expiry alerts from monitoring are the belt-and-braces check on top.
Custom domains are covered too: point an A record at 31.132.2.56 and issuance happens on its own. No certificate purchase, no renewal calendar.
