Your Brand, Your Domain. Our Engine.

Discover the simple, automated path to offering secure, custom domains for every customer on your platform.

The VanityCert.com Workflow

We've engineered a sophisticated process to be incredibly simple. Follow the journey from initial setup to a fully managed, secure custom domain.

1

Integrate Our Portal

As a SaaS provider, you'll seamlessly embed our white-label ready portal into your application. Our comprehensive documentation and API make integration quick and straightforward.

~1-2 hours initial setup
2

Customer Enters Domain

Through the integrated portal, your customers simply enter the custom domain name they wish to use (e.g., `app.theircompany.com`). The process is guided and user-friendly.

~30 seconds
3

Automated DNS Validation

We provide clear CNAME instructions for your customer. Our system then automatically monitors and validates that the domain is correctly pointing to your service.

~30 seconds - 5 minutes (DNS propagation)
4

Automatic SSL Issuance

Once validated, a trusted SSL certificate is automatically provisioned and issued for the domain, securing their connection instantly without manual intervention.

~60-90 seconds
5

Continuous Management

We continuously monitor the certificate and automatically handle renewals before expiration, eliminating outages and ensuring uninterrupted security for your customers.

Request Routing

Traffic is proxied to your origin with custom headers for domain identification.
