About .CHANNEL domains
All .CHANNEL domains have the same requirements, restrictions, and supported features, such as registrations and renewals, transfers, and DNS.
Note: The .CHANNEL extension is a secure namespace and requires an SSL certificate to enable HTTPS on websites using a .CHANNEL domain. A Standard SSL certificate credit is including with any .CHANNEL registration to be used exclusively with your .CHANNEL domain.
