Vercel + Namecheap stack1 min read
Vercel SSL is automatic — and why that matters.
Let's Encrypt certificates issued automatically. No config, no annual renewal, no nginx.
Overview
Vercel handles SSL automatically via Let's Encrypt. No config files, no renewal calendars, no openssl. Set the domain, the cert issues, it renews itself.
What you get
A valid SSL cert for every custom domain, including www and apex. HTTPS works out of the box. HTTP redirects to HTTPS automatically.
Renewal happens silently
Let's Encrypt certs renew every 90 days. Vercel handles renewal automatically. You'll never get a 'cert expired' page if you let Vercel manage DNS.
When SSL fails
Almost always a DNS issue, not SSL. If SSL won't issue, check your nameservers are correct at your registrar. Once DNS is right, SSL follows.
