Jayenkai	Google's nagging away. God forbid you could have a simple forum without bulking up the security via SSL protected pages.. FFS. \|!!ARGH\| It's only a fucking forum, Google.. \|ARGH!!\| So I've spent some time looking into SSL, and I can see two options. 1. Go via something like sslforfree.com. They require that I update the keys and things, every 3 or 4 weeks. And since I have 5 domains to protect, that means every month, having to fuck about with uploads, downloads, copy and pasting, 5 times.. And, realistically, Fuck that.. 2. Pay GoDaddy, but I don't know exactly what that entails. Will that also end up requiring me to piss about every damn month?! Also, will one key protect all domains, or will I end up having to shell out the dosh for every domain!? I don't know.. I'm not up on my 21st century web-dev. What do you guys do, if at all!? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rskgames	I use firefox so don't see any "Not Secure" message as seen in Chrome. My Domain service provider has a SSL option that can be applied to domains and all sub domains.

cyangames	I buy mine from www.ssls.com/?fromCheapSSLs they're pretty cheap ~£4 a year. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

HoboBen	Yes god don't buy SSL through GoDaddy, its 10x the price. Namecheap are good - about £7-9/year depending on exchange rate, they make it pretty easy to do and have really good tech support. Renew once a year. edit: It looks like rychan's suggestion is owned by the same company as namecheap so go with either! -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

rskgames	After further reading I find that Dedicated IP is required and that costs a lot more than the SSL cost.

Jayenkai	Yeah, NameCheap seems ok. https://www.namecheap.com/security/ssl-certificates/comodo/positivessl-multi-domain.aspx £25 a year for 3.. I'd have to add at least one more domain on top, though. sigh -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
