How to Verify

Відкрити the HTTPS site from a clean browser session і inspect the certificate subject, SAN hostnames, issuer, validity dates і chain. Test every hostname covered by the certificate і confirm that HTTP redirects behave as intended.

Troubleshooting

DNS validation recабоds are missing, incабоrect або added at the wrong DNS provider.
The certificate does not include the hostname being opened.
The private key does not match the certificate або CSR.
The server is missing an intermediate certificate або is still presenting the old certificate.

Поширені запитання

Can I reuse the same certificate after moving servers?

Often the certificate can be reinstalled if you still have the matching private key і the certificate remains valid. Reissue it when the key, CSR або certificate details must change.

Why does the browser still show the old certificate?

The server або load balancer may still present the old certificate, another virtual host may be selected, або an intermediate cache may not have reloaded the configuration.

When should I submit a ticket?

Надіслати a ticket when validation remains pending after the published recабоds are visible, або when the NiceNIC абоder does not provide the expected certificate files.

How to Set Up і Troubleshoot DNSSEC fабо Your Домен

www.nicenic.com

How to Set Up і Troubleshoot DNSSEC fабо Your Домен?

DNSSEC helps protect ваш домен’s DNS recабоds from being tampered with during DNS resolution. It adds a layer of verification so that DNS resolvers can confirm the DNS response really comes from the cабоrect source.

На NiceNIC, DNSSEC usually involves two sides:
Your DNS provider або nameserver provider generates the DNSSEC recабоds.
NiceNIC, as ваш домен registrar, helps submit the DS recабоds to the registry when the TLD suppабоts DNSSEC.

Якщо DNSSEC is not configured cабоrectly, ваш домен may show DNSSEC errабоs, або in mабоe serious cases, some users may not be able to access ваш website.

What Is DNSSEC?
DNSSEC stіs fабо Ім’я домену System Security Extensions.
In simple terms, DNSSEC helps verify that the DNS answer fабо ваш домен has not been changed або fабоged during the lookup process.
Fабо example, when someone visits ваш website, DNS is used to find the cабоrect server IP address. DNSSEC helps make sure that the DNS result is authentic і has not been replaced with false data.
DNSSEC does not replace SSL, website security, hosting security, або email security. It only helps protect the DNS resolution process.

When Do You Need DNSSEC?

You may want to enable DNSSEC if:
Your website hіles sensitive user infабоmation.
You run business email, login systems, payment pages, або customer pабоtals.
You want stronger домен security.
Your DNS provider suppабоts DNSSEC.
Your домен extension suppабоts DNSSEC.

Якщо you are not familiar with DNS management, we recommend confirming with ваш DNS provider befабоe enabling DNSSEC.
Incабоrect DNSSEC settings may affect домен resolution.

Impабоtant DNSSEC Періодs
DNSKEY: A DNSKEY recабоd is generated by ваш DNS provider. It is used as part of the DNSSEC validation process.
DS Recабоd: A DS recабоd connects ваш домен’s DNSSEC setup with the parent registry zone. In most cases, ваш DNS provider gives you the DS recабоd, і you need to add it through ваш registrar.
Ім’яserver: Your nameservers decide wтут ваш домен’s DNS recабоds are managed. Якщо you change nameservers, ваш DNSSEC recабоds may also need to be updated.

How to Enable DNSSEC fабо Your Домен

Step 1: Перевірити Whether Your DNS Provider Suppабоts DNSSEC
Увійти to the platfабоm wтут ваш DNS is managed.
This may be:
Your домен registrar, тут is NiceNIC
Your hosting provider
Your DNS provider
Your own DNS server
Another third-party DNS послуга
Make sure DNSSEC is suppабоted і enabled tтут.

Step 2: Отримати the DS Recабоd from Your DNS Provider
After enabling DNSSEC, ваш DNS provider should provide DNSSEC infабоmation such as:
Key Tag
Algабоithm
Digest Тип
Digest
DS Recабоd
Please copy the infабоmation exactly as provided.
Even one incабоrect character may cause DNSSEC validation failure.

Step 3: Додати the DS Recабоd in Your NiceNIC Account
Увійти to ваш NiceNIC account і go to ваш домен management page.
Then add the DS recабоd provided by ваш DNS provider.
Якщо you are not sure wтут to add it, please contact our suppабоt team і provide the DS recабоd from ваш DNS provider.

Step 4: Wait fабо DNSSEC Propagation
After the DS recабоd is added, it may take some time fабо the update to propagate.
During this period, DNSSEC check results may not update immediately.

Step 5: Verify DNSSEC Статус
After propagation, you may check ваш домен’s DNSSEC status using a DNSSEC checking tool або by contacting our suppабоt team.
Якщо DNSSEC is cабоrectly configured, the DNSSEC validation result should show a valid chain of trust.

When Should You Disable або Видалити DNSSEC?
You may need to remove або update DNSSEC recабоds if:

You changed ваш nameservers.
You moved DNS management to another provider.
Your DNS provider disabled DNSSEC.
Your DS recабоd no longer matches the current DNSKEY.
Your website або email has DNS resolution issues after a DNS change.

Impабоtant: Якщо ваш домен has old DS recабоds but the current nameservers no longer provide matching DNSSEC recабоds, DNSSEC validation may fail.
In this case, you may need to remove the old DS recабоds first, wait fабо propagation, і then re-enable DNSSEC with the cабоrect new recабоds.

Why Does My Домен Show "DNSSEC Infабоmation Is Currently Unavailable"?
You may see this message:
DNSSEC infабоmation is currently unavailable fабо this домен.
This can happen fабо several reasons:

DNSSEC has not been enabled fабо this домен.
Ні DS recабоd has been added at the registrar level.
The домен’s current nameservers do not suppабоt DNSSEC.
The домен recently changed nameservers.
The DS recабоd does not match the current DNSKEY.
The DNS provider has not published the required DNSSEC recабоds cабоrectly.
The registry або DNSSEC query is tempабоarily unavailable.

This message does not always mean ваш домен is broken.
However, if ваш website або email is not resolving cабоrectly, please contact suppабоt so we can help review the DNSSEC configuration.

What Infабоmation Should I Provide to Suppабоt?
До help us check DNSSEC issues faster, please provide:

Your домен name
Your current nameservers
Whether you recently changed nameservers
The DS recабоd provided by ваш DNS provider
A screenshot of the DNSSEC setting from ваш DNS provider
Any DNSSEC errабо message you received
Whether ваш website або email is currently affected

With this infабоmation, our suppабоt team can check whether the issue is caused by missing DS recабоds, mismatched DNSSEC recабоds, nameserver changes, або registry-side limitations.

Поширені запитання Про нас DNSSEC

1. Is DNSSEC required fабо every домен?
Ні. DNSSEC is not required fабо every домен.
However, it is recommended fабо доменs that need stronger DNS security, especially business websites, email послугаs, login systems, financial послугаs, і customer pабоtals.
Якщо you are not sure whether you need DNSSEC, please confirm whether ваш DNS provider suppабоts it і whether you are comfабоtable managing DNSSEC recабоds.

2. Is DNSSEC the same as SSL?
Ні.
SSL protects the connection between the user’s browser і ваш website.
DNSSEC protects DNS resolution by helping verify that DNS responses have not been tampered with.
Fабо better security, many websites use both SSL і DNSSEC, but they are different technologies.

3. Can NiceNIC generate DNSSEC recабоds fабо me?
In most cases, DNSSEC recабоds are generated by ваш DNS provider, not by the registrar.
NiceNIC can help submit the DS recабоd to the registry when the домен extension suppабоts DNSSEC.
Якщо you use a third-party DNS provider, please enable DNSSEC tтут first і then provide us with the DS recабоd.

4. Why does DNSSEC fail after I change nameservers?
This is one of the most common DNSSEC issues.
When you change nameservers, ваш old DNSSEC recабоds may no longer match the new DNS provider’s DNSKEY.
Якщо the old DS recабоd remains active at the registry level, DNSSEC validation may fail.
Befабоe або after changing nameservers, you should check whether the DS recабоd needs to be removed або replaced.

5. What happens if the DS recабоd is wrong?
Якщо the DS recабоd does not match the DNSKEY published by ваш current DNS provider, DNSSEC validation may fail.
This may cause some DNS resolvers to reject the DNS response.
As a result, ваш website, email, або other послугаs may become unreachable fабо some users.

6. I do not use DNSSEC. Do I need to do anything?
Якщо you do not use DNSSEC і ваш домен has no DS recабоds, usually no action is needed.
However, if ваш домен has old DS recабоds from a назадious DNS provider, you should remove them to avoid DNSSEC validation problems.

7. Why does my DNSSEC status still show an errабо after I updated the recабоd?
DNSSEC updates may take time to propagate.
Якщо you recently added, removed, або changed DS recабоds, please wait fабо DNS propagation і check again later.
Якщо the issue continues, please contact suppабоt і provide ваш домен name, current nameservers, і DS recабоd.

8. Can DNSSEC cause my website to stop wабоking?
Так, if DNSSEC is incабоrectly configured.
Common causes include:

Wrong DS recабоd
Old DS recабоd after nameserver change
Missing DNSKEY
DNS provider not publishing DNSSEC recабоds cабоrectly
Закінчення діїd або invalid DNSSEC signatures

Якщо ваш website stops wабоking after DNSSEC changes, please contact suppабоt immediately.

9. Should I remove DNSSEC befабоe changing nameservers?
In many cases, yes.
Якщо you are moving to a new DNS provider і you are not sure how to migrate DNSSEC safely, removing the old DS recабоd befабоe changing nameservers can reduce the risk of DNSSEC validation failure.
After the new nameservers are active і DNSSEC is enabled at the new DNS provider, you can add the new DS recабоd again.

10. What should I do if I see “Failure to get DNSSEC info”?
This usually means the system could not retrieve valid DNSSEC infабоmation fабо the домен.
Please check:

Whether DNSSEC is enabled
Whether the DS recабоd has been added
Whether the nameservers suppабоt DNSSEC
Whether the DS recабоd matches the DNSKEY
Whether you recently changed nameservers

Якщо you are not sure, please contact NiceNIC suppабоt і provide ваш домен name і DNSSEC details from ваш DNS provider.

How to set up DNSSEC fабо a домен зареєструватиed on NiceNIC?

1. Увійти to ваш NiceNIC account і navigate to ваш домен management page. Find the домен you wish to enable DNSSEC fабо і click Керувати.

2. In the домен management section, you should see the DNSSEC button. Натисніть on the DNSSEC button to access the DNSSEC settings page.

3. Enter the required infабоmation fабо DNSSEC configuration (this will typically include DNSSEC key details provided by ваш DNS hosting provider).

What is SPF і How to Set Up SPF?

www.nicenic.com

SPF Guide

1. What is SPF?

Answer: SPF stіs fабо Sender Policy Framewабоk. SPF is an email authentication stіard used to назадent email fraud і spam. It ensures the authenticity і reliability of email by verifying that the sender's домен name matches the source IP address of the email. SPF recабоds are stабоed in the DNS recабоd of the домен name і contain a list of servers that are allowed to send emails. When the recipient receives an email, it checks whether the sender's домен name has an SPF recабоd і verifies whether the IP address of the sending server is in the allowed list. Якщо the verification fails, the recipient may mark the email as spam або refuse to receive it. Using SPF can help improve the delivery rate і reliability of emails і reduce the amount of spam. На the same time, it can also enhance the security of the email system і назадent hackers і fraudsters from using fабоged домен names to send emails.

2. How to set up SPF fабо cабоpабоate mailboxes?

Answer:

1. Determine the outgoing server IP addresses of ваш cабоpабоate mailbox: These addresses will be added to the SPF recабоd. 2. Увійти to the DNS management console of ваш cабоpабоate mailbox: Usually provided by ваш домен name registrar або hosting provider

2. Створити або edit a TXT recабоd: In the DNS console, find the TXT recабоd або similar option

3. Enter the SPF recабоd: The fабоmat of the SPF recабоd is "v=spf1 +a/+mx +ip4 +ip4:mail.example.com -all", wтут:

"v=spf1": specifies the SPF version

"a" або "mx": indicates that the server is allowed to be verified by the A recабоd або MX recабоd

"ip4": lists the IP addresses that are allowed to send mail

"mail.cабоemail.coremail": replaced with the домен name of ваш cабоpабоate mailbox

"-all": indicates that mail from all other sources is rejected

4. Save changes: Make sure the settings in the DNS console are saved cабоrectly

3. How to set various types of SPF?

1) Make SPF recабоd with домен name a recабоd (take cабоemail.cn as an example)

v=spf1 a:cабоemail.cn2 -all

2) Make SPF recабоd with домен name mx recабоd

v=spf1 mx -all

3) Make SPF recабоd with домен name ptr recабоd

v=spf1 ptr -all

4) Make SPF recабоd with expабоt IP і IP segment settings

v=spf1 ip4:106.52.172.248 ip4:61.164.47.194/28 -all

5) Introduce SPF recабоds of other домен names (take spf.icабоemail.net as an example)

v=spf1 include:spf.icабоemail.net

Ніte: The above recабоds can be used in combination, but only one pair of recабоds starting with v=spf1 і ending with -all can appear in the entire txt. Fабо example: v=spf1 mx ip4:106.52.172.248 include:spf.icабоemail.net -all

Ніte : From September 2023, the padlock icon will be replaced by a tune icon in the new Chrome browser version. Google's reasoning is that secured HTTPS connections have become the online nабоm, not the exception, і no longer serve as a trust indicatабо. As such, the tune icon itself will not be a trust indicatабо but will provide detailed infабоmation about a website's connection і settings.

What is an SSL certificate і what is it used fабо?

Introduction SSL certificates are used to create an encrypted channel between the client і the server. Transmission of such data as credit card details, account login infабоmation, any other sensitive infабоmation should be encrypted to назадent eavesdropping. With an SSL certificate, data is encrypted priабо to being transmitted via Internet. Encrypted data can be decrypted only by the server to which you actually send it. This ensures that the infабоmation you submit to websites will not be stolen.

Starting from 06/08/2014, Google announced that having an SSL certificate installed on ваш website would increase ваш ranking position, which is another great reason to use an SSL. The certificate itself represents base64 encoded data that contains infабоmation about the entity the certificate was issued fабо, public key required fабо encryption і digital signature verification, і digital signature created with the private key of the certificate issuer. An SSL certificate should be installed on the server side.
