How It Works

1

Create SSL certificates using ZeroSSL.

Providing free 90-day certificates through ACME, or certificate generation through Web-App and REST API.

2

Secure Private Key Generation

Your SSL certificate’s private key is securely generated and encrypted on your device, ensuring it remains fully confidential. The private key can only be decrypted and downloaded through your local browser while you're logged into your account.

Advanced Options

Wildcard SSL Certificates

Secure all sub-domains with a wildcard certificate (e.g., *.example.org). Includes the root domain.

Multiple Domains/Sub-Domains

Add multiple domains or sub-domains in the second step. Use email, HTTP, or DNS verification for correct directory uploads.

Prevent WWW Addition

Remove the auto-added www domain on the verification page by editing domains before submission.
