I got my domain and ssl(sectigo) from bigrock and my ssl will expire after 2 months , and my backend (node express) is hosted in digitalocean and my ssl certificates are configured correctly in my VPS/droplet and my
front-end service is hosted in vercel and now when I open my website it says site not secure  and ssl expired  but when I checked big rock it shows it will expire after 2 months. I am using my custom domain and when I used dig commands in CLI the results were absolutely fine for A, cname, _acme_challenge. Now I have not uploaded ssl for front-end from my side ( the one I got from bigrock(sectigo)) and I am getting let's encrypt ssl expired.

You can also ask [v0](https://v0.dev/) for suggestions tailored to your own project setup.

Hi @itbharatrohan-gmailc, welcome to the Vercel Community!

Can you share the URL and a screenshot of the error you're facing?


Bharatrohan (@itbharatrohan-gmailc) · 2025-05-08

Hi Anshuman,
The URL is [www.bharatrohan.in](http://www.bharatrohan.in), so when we open it says the site not secure. In our vercel account in our project's domain there is an entry of [bharatrohan.in](http://bharatrohan.in) and not of [www.bharatrohan.in](http://www.bharatrohan.in) and when we try to add it in our project it gives an error.

Hi @itbharatrohan-gmailc, I see. I'd recommend removing the domain and adding it again. 

You can follow our https://vercel.com/docs/domains/working-with-domains/add-a-domain docs to configure the domain and `www` domain.

This should fix the issue for you.

Hi Anshuman,

We are still not able to add it. It still give the same error message.

Can you please add it from your end?That will resolve the issue.

Regards,
Team BharatRohan

Hi @itbharatrohan-gmailc, sorry but I can't do that action on your behalf. 

In some cases, you may need to add a TXT record from your DNS management console (of your domain provider) to verify ownership of the domain.

Can you share what error you get when removing and re-adding the domain?
