To use HTTPS Web Forwarding in UltraDNS

You’ll need a valid TLS certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). UltraDNS does not issue or sell certificates, but here’s how to get one.

What Kind of Certificate Do I Need?

• Must be issued by a trusted CA (no self-signed)
• Matches the domain name you're redirecting
• Includes private key and CA bundle (if applicable)
• Formats accepted: .crt, .pem, .key

Recommended Certificate Providers

You can get a certificate from:

• DigiCert
• GoDaddy
• Namecheap
• Your web hosting or domain provider

Future Update: Full integration with DigiCert CertCentral will automate this process (coming soon).

What You’ll Upload in UltraDNS

Once issued, you'll need to upload:

1. The certificate file (.crt or .pem)
2. The private key file (.key)
3. The CA bundle file (optional, .pem)
