HTTPS
wz.io is on the HSTS preload list built into major browsers, with all its subdomains. Browsers therefore open every name registered under wz.io over HTTPS only, even when a visitor types an http:// address.
A website on these names needs a valid TLS certificate. Without one, browsers refuse to open the site, and visitors cannot choose to ignore the error and continue.
