Domains & login process
On this page
Domains
- Main domain: https://vocadb.net (www.vocadb.net is an alias)

- https://static.vocadb.net (primary)
- https://vocadb.t3.storage.dev (Tigris storage bucket)
- Test instance (future branch): https://beta.vocadb.net
SSL domain
SSL is used to secure the connection between the user, VocaDB, and Cloudflare (as a middleman), so that no one else can see the sent or received data. This is useful when authenticating (logging in or registering), though it covers everything on VocaDB.
SSL certificates are provided for free by Cloudflare using the Universal SSL service.
Static files
Static files such as images are served from a separate domain to improve cacheability.
Login process
There are multiple paths for logging in:
- Logging in from an arbitrary page on the main site, while the credentials are posted to the SSL site. After logging in the user is redirected back to the main site to the page where they were when logging in.
- Alternatively, the user may log in from the main site, but choose not to use the SSL domain while logging in. This is mostly for problem cases where the SSL domain is somehow unusable.
- Logging in from an artibrary page on the SSL site. After logging in, the user is returned to the SSL site, instead of the main site.
- Logging in with Twitter credentials using OAuth. (removed)
