Hello everyone,

I've just bought a domain name on Vercel and would like to know if an SSL certificate comes with it?

Best regards,
Ilyas Ayachi

Hi, @ilyasayachi!

Yes, when you purchase a domain through Vercel, it automatically comes with an SSL certificate. Vercel handles the configuration and setup of the domain, including the SSL certificate, making the process seamless for you.

Hello, 

Additionally what @pawlean mentioned, you must ensure the project is hosted to Vercel in order to get SSL certificate installed automatically. For example, if you choose to point domain to a third party service, the SSL certificate needs to manage / install by yourself on their server and Vercel won't issue SSL certificate in such cases.
