Eligibility requirements for .zip
The .zip extension is a secure namespace, meaning you will need an SSL Certificate installed on your website before it can be viewed in a browser. .zip domain names come pre-submitted to the HSTS Preload list, which in effect makes them HTTPS-only.
Before a .zip domain name will resolve in browsers an SSL certificate will need to be installed. You can purchase applicable SSL certificates through the Clickhost management system or alternatively, if you purchase a web-hosting page through Clickhost you will be provided with an SSL certificate through Auto SSL automatically.
In the event that you purchase an SSL certificate through an external provider and require this to be installed onto a Clickhost hosting service please get in touch with our technical support team for assistance with installation.
