Free SSL certificate for all branded links – Rebrandly

How to create branded links that include https:// (SSL) encryption

We include the ability to encrypt all the https:// traffic from your domain name with an SSL certificate in all of our plans. When you create branded links using the https protocol, the traffic to your content will automatically be encrypted.

Why is https:// (SSL) important?

SSL is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remains private and integral. To create an SSL connection, a web server requires an SSL Certificate.

How do I set up SSL?

We've taken care of all of the setup for you, so there's no extra configuration required on your end. From now on, every link shared with https:// will be encrypted. What's more, links copied to your clipboard will automatically include https://.

Certificate Authority (CAA) Configuration
If your company policy requires specifying authorized Certificate Authorities (CAs), you must whitelist Letsencrypt by adding a CAA record to your second-level domain (e.g., acme.co):

0 issuewild “letsencrypt.org”

Important: Without whitelisting Letsencrypt, we cannot generate SSL certificates for your branded links. More details here.

NOTE:

Rebrandly provides the SSL certificate for all subscribers. If you want to use your custom SSL certificate, you'll need to contact us for custom setup and pricing.
