Notes
- Domain authentication type SSL.
- An SSL certificate will not be issued for the domain before the nameserver change.
- It may take longer than usual to issue an SSL certificate when a nameserver change is involved.
- If you add a large number of domains in a short period of time, it may take 24-72 hours or more to reflect.
- If the domain name exceeds 64 characters, the SSL certificate cannot be used.
- If the subdomain that is automatically set when adding a domain exceeds 64 characters, please change the subdomain to a shorter one.
- Please note that setting in the Japanese domain (Punycode) may exceed the number of characters.
- Issuing an SSL certificate at the certificate authority may be delayed, and it may take time to issue.
