Second-level Domain Support on NetSuite CDN 2025.2

Starting in NetSuite 2025.2, businesses can now host second-level domains on the NetSuite content delivery network (CDN). This enhancement allows for efficient management of domain-validated SSL certificates, offering automatic updates without requiring manual intervention. This change simplifies the process for organizations looking to improve their security without the overhead of managing SSL certificates themselves.

Benefits of Hosting Second-level Domains on NetSuite CDN

By utilizing the NetSuite CDN for second-level domains, companies can enjoy several advantages:

• Automatic SSL Certificate Management: NetSuite generates and keeps SSL certificates updated, ensuring secure connections for your customers.
• Streamlined Domain Management: You can focus on your core business activities while NetSuite handles the technicalities of domain validation and certificate renewal.
• Consistency with Third-level Domains: The hosting rules for second-level domains mirror those in place for third-level domains, making it easier for businesses to adapt.

Requirements for Hosting on NetSuite CDN

While the process for hosting second-level domains is relatively straightforward, the following conditions should be met:

• CNAME Flattening: CNAME flattening remains a necessary requirement for configuration, similar to third-level domains.
• DNS Settings: Refer to the help topic on "Point Your Domain Name at Your Domain (DNS Settings)" for detailed instructions on setting up your domain correctly.

Who This Affects

This new feature impacts multiple roles and modules within the NetSuite ecosystem:

• Administrators: Those responsible for domain configurations will find this feature simplifies operations.
• Developers: Developers can integrate CDN functionality into their workflows more seamlessly.
• Accountants and Finance Teams: With enhanced security and reliability, finance teams can manage transactions over secure connections confidently.
