SSL (Security Certificate)
A security certificate authenticates that you own your website and displays a lock icon in the user’s web browser. Most modern browsers require SSL certificates. SSLs are widely available from a large number of reputable providers.
Domain Name (Website Address)
Only required for standalone Y sites. Can be set up with its own unique web address (i.e., virtualymcatn.org), a unique directory within your existing site (ymcamidtn.org/virtual) or as a subdomain of your existing site (virtual.ymcamidtn.org).
Requirements for each of these setups are unique. Contact your developer partner or the Open Y community for help with your setup.
