Google Chrome refuses to visit the new .app domains without https
Agreed. If landing/parking companies had to buy an SSL cert for each domain they would go out of business.Cloudflare bought their own CA. This is why they can offer universal SSL. I think any parking company would offer ssl if it was possible and still profitable. Buying an SSL cert for every parked domain isn't a reality.
I would give you a Google lava lamp and two packs of bubble gum.

Agreed. But you wouldnt point your nameservers to my webservers during testing so I was going to throw those in as an added bonus.Nameservers have nothing to do with SSL. It's all done on the webserver.

I doubt that would work for them as cloudflare isnt going to want to issue them 5 millions SSLs for free. Their "universal SSL" isn't exactly universal. It is just offered to each customer per site from my understanding.I'm not sure what you're using for dns right now but if you'd be willing to work with cloudflare you could use that advantage.
They're easy to integrate into any backend. You deliver the panel, they take care of the rest. Again, it might take a lot of rewriting of your current system but I think in the long run it's worth it.

And their DNS option, is really just a redirection solution in a nutshell. And we can't work with redirection.

Why would I lose a customer if a parked domain doesn't have SSL on it?
I would love to know.

The second one above I meant to put, but had to edit to add. (before your post)Google doesn't index parked domains. Any other reasons?

Possible future blocks of sites without SSL from browsers
Over 99% of those .app domains are without any traffic, except bots.
I don't see any reasons to overload/downtime the parking servers due to these SSL games...
I think, regarding monetization (Google PPC) - this should be provided individually... per domains where traffic really exists... for example, $1/domain/mo for SSL cert service.
To sell - parking companies are not needed at all...In the meantime, wouldnt it be difficult to sell these to prospective buyers if even simple landing pages wont resolve due to ssl issues? Also - how many of these new domains are WHOIS private, plus WHOIS leaning toward privacy anyway... If someone is interested in getting in touch with the domain owner then it may be difficult until the SSL issues are resolved.
@Undeveloped leading the way as usual.We're currently working on a solution and might be able to introduce SSL on over 1M domains. If the negotiations go well this week we might be able to introduce SSL secured for sale pages next week.
To be continued...
Can you explain what you did exactly?If you already have hosting you can get an SSL for free anyway. I just did one to test and it took less than 5 minutes and works fine.

Did not hosted the domains and did not setup the SSL? Only parked them to undeveloped with "that" option enabled?
i used clouflare and it works fine.
