Improved SSL setup for external domains - Webfactory

We’ve made some improvements to how SSL is set up for externally hosted domains.

Previously, setting up SSL required you to add both a CloudFront record and a certificate verification record. If either step was missed or delayed, you’d need to make changes again - which we know could be frustrating.

With this update you no longer need to set up those two records. For all new domains, you now only need to add one simple DNS record.

Once added, our system will detect it - usually within an hour - and automatically handle the rest.
