With all the changes going on with Google and the world having a secure site (one that uses SSL encryption and certificate) is important.
Even for a kitteh.
That way all my visitors know they are still safe and secure when they come to my web page (even if they aren’t loggin in). Rest assured this kitteh’s got ur back.
We use Powweb (dats an affiliate link). While it isn’t the cheapest or even the best hosting service out there, it is pretty good and we have been with them for 10+ years. They recently included free SSL with our web hosting. And it covers all our domains (we can point as many domains as we want to our single hosting service). So I guess it is a pretty good deal. We don’t sell anyfing on the site so all we need is the freebie versions. Having HTTPS in the browser will alert visitors that is is secure, but it also tells Google the samefing and that is important for keeping your search engine rankings these days.
So if you want to host ur own wordpress site, wif ur own domain and have a secure url check em out.
We’re still in the process of learning what all needs to be done to get the sites up and working wif HTTPS but it seems fairly simply. Changed the HTACCESS file, two settings inside wordpress, fixed a few hard coded urls that pulled stuff from http links and viola we haz a secure site.
Host your website with PowWeb!
We use and pay for the service on our own. But should you use one of the links above we might receive some funds that may help us with the upkeep of our websites.
