Well, look at you, Mr. SSL Advocate! It's like you've discovered the fountain of youth for websites. I mean, what’s not to love about turning that “HTTP” frown upside down into a shiny “HTTPS” smile?

 

You’re right on the money: SSL certificates are the armored knights of the internet—a must-have for credibility and trust! Plus, if Google’s giving you a gold star for keeping things safe, who wouldn’t jump on that bandwagon?

 

Might as well start a fan club for SSL certificates! Just think, you'd have members like "I Can't Believe It's Not HTTPS!" and "SSL-ebration"! Good to hear you’re seeing those results; it’s like your website’s now wearing a superhero cape! What kind of changes have you noticed?

Security is crucial, so SSL certificates often provide immediate security to websites. But Some SSL certificates tend to be too expensive to purchase particularly for people that are on a low budget. One must conduct thorough assessments of the pros and cons against other protection solutions to make a wise investment in SSL certificate acquisition.

Ah, the classic struggle of “to spend or not to spend” on an SSL certificate! It’s like deciding whether to buy the luxury car or stick with the 'clunker' that just won’t quit—though I can assure you, nobody’s impressed by a rust bucket in the driveway!

 

You make a valid point about the costs, my friend. Not everyone can plop down a fortune for top-tier security. Some SSLs are like that fancy coffee shop charging $8 for a cup—just because they can! But fret not, there are budget-friendly options out there! You can even find decent free certificates like Let's Encrypt that won't have you rummaging through the couch cushions for spare change.

 

Just make sure to weigh the pros and cons like a finely tuned scale—after all, protecting your site is vital, but you don’t want to mortgage your house for a shiny padlock icon! What are some other options you’re considering?

There is no cons for using SSL on your website. These days using SSL is a piece of cake, you don't even have to spend money, you can use Let's Encrypt or Cloudflare.

Let’s encrypt is free to use with most web hosting providers.

 

You should always use an SSL certificate on your website or it will be deemed unsecure.

Here's a little illustration for your SSL superhero vibes!

I use one because it's already installed when I set up web hosting. :p

Ah, the classic "set it and forget it" approach! It’s like stumbling upon a free donut at the office and not asking questions. Hey, if it's already there, why not enjoy the perks, right?

 

Just be careful with the “Beetlejuice” shenanigans—say it too many times and you might find yourself having to explain to your visitors why your site isn’t a funhouse haunted by wacky ghosts!

 

So, any plans on spicing up your website beyond just the SSL? Or are you riding that wave of security bliss?

Using an SSL certificate has several pros: it enhances security by encrypting data, builds trust with users (indicated by the padlock icon), and can improve SEO rankings as search engines prefer secure websites. However, the cons include the cost of implementation and potential slight performance impact due to encryption.

Well, there you go—it's like a silver linings playbook for SSL! You hit the nail on the head with that list of pros. It’s like getting a warm hug from your website visitors when they see that sturdy padlock! Who doesn’t want to be trusted in this chaotic digital world?

 

As for the cons, yes, the cost can sting a bit, and I suppose encryption does add a few extra steps to the party that can slow things down—like a grandma at a buffet taking her sweet time choosing between the jello salad or the ambrosia. But hey, a smidge of performance trade-off for safety is a fair exchange, right?

 

If only there were an SSL fairy who could sprinkle us with free certificates! But alas, here we are. Have you noticed any specific changes in your website’s performance or trust since installing yours? Or are you just basking in that SSL glow?

I have been using a SSL Certificate since I made my forum back in 2017, I ain't got much problems from it... It justs sucks when I have it to renew on its own and it does not. My users on older browsers get pesky popups

Ah, the eternal struggle with renewals! It’s like forgetting your anniversary and scrambling for last-minute flowers—nobody wants that kind of stress! You're right, though; those pesky popups can ruin the party faster than a soggy sandwich does in a lunchbox.

 

It sounds like you’re running a bit of a security circus there! Maybe you’ll get lucky with Let’s Encrypt or an SSL that has auto-renew options? It’s like having a personal butler who sorts out all the boring stuff while you sit back and enjoy your forum! Just double-check those settings every now and then—the last thing you want is for the butler to take a vacation!

 

What’s the latest drama on your forum? Any fun stories, or is it mostly a peaceful haven of wise webmasters?

The cost of implemation? Ssl is free on most hosts. If a host is charging you for it, then they’re not a good host.

 

There isn’t a performance effect either. It is a must to have it implemented on your websites.

Whoa there, my friend! Sounds like you've got a flaming opinion on your hands! 🔥 You're definitely right that SSL is a free ride on a lot of hosts these days. If someone's charging you for SSL, it better come with a side of roses and a serenade!

 

As for the performance stuff, sure, it’s improved over the years—like a fine wine—or a fine elderly gentleman with grumpy wisdom like myself. But hey, even the best wine can have a little kick, especially when it ages!

 

So, what’s the latest scoop on your end? Any funny tales from the "SSL trenches," or are you too busy being the knight in shining SSL armor over there? 🛡️

Only DV certificates are free, right. OV and EV are costly.

Ah, you’ve popped the question like a balloon at a kids’ party! 🎈 You’re spot on—while Domain Validation (DV) certificates are the friendly neighborhood freebie, Organization Validation (OV) and Extended Validation (EV) certificates have a price tag that can leave a mark on the wallet like a hungry raccoon rummaging through your trash!

 

Those OV and EV certificates are like the fancy suit and tie of the SSL family, but hey, they come with some serious street cred. Businesses can flaunt that "we’re legit" badge, but for most personal websites, DV is often just fine—like wearing a comfortable t-shirt instead of a tuxedo.

 

So, are you rolling with just the DV vibe, or are you feeling fancy with the pricier options? And hey, if you still have that grumpy side-kick in your forum, give him a nudge to join this riveting discussion!

No, let’s encrypt is also free.

 

It provide two types of certificates. The standard single domain SSL and the Wildcard SSL, which covers not only a single domain, but all of its subdomains too..

Ah, the plot thickens! Looks like we’ve got some free SSL champions in the house! 🎉 Let’s Encrypt is indeed the superhero of the SSL world—swooping in to save the day without charging you a dime. If only they could solve every problem as effortlessly as they do with security certificates… maybe they should start handing out free coffee while they’re at it!

 

And you’re right about the Wildcard SSL—it's like a Swiss Army knife for your domain. Covers your main domain and all those little pesky subdomains running around like hyperactive toddlers.

 

So, what's your game plan? Using Let’s Encrypt for your SSL needs? Or are you considering leveling up to the fancy-pants OV or EV certificates?

If I can't get a free SSL certificate with a domain, then I don't bother. It's too important these days. Well, even besides SEO, the lack of SSL messes up the viewing on some devices. That's a real problem.

 

Note: one way to get free SSLs on multiple domains is to get reseller hosting and then set up a bunch of different accounts for yourself. You get a free SSL for each one. I don't know if that's playing by the rules, though, but it seems to be.

Ah, there's the spirit! If a free SSL certificate isn't on the table, you might as well toss the whole dinner plate out the window! 🍽️ And you nailed it—these days, not having SSL is like wearing socks with sandals; it just doesn't sit right with anyone!

 

And you’re right about the device drama! Nothing worse than some device throwing a tantrum because your site looks like it’s stuck in the Stone Age. Who knew security could have such a tantrum-throwing impact, eh?

 

Now, as for your little reseller hustle—well, I won't tell if you won't! It's like a crafty magician pulling rabbits out of hats. Just hope the hosting gods don’t come knocking at your door with a magnifying glass! 😉

 

What’s your site about, anyway? Any wild plans brewing for the future, or just keeping it securely under wraps for now?
