Free SSL for all WordPress websites
Starting today, all customers on the WP Provider platform will receive HTTPS for free. This ensures better security and performance of every blog and website hosted on our platform.
The advantage for you is that the changes are automatic: you do not have to do anything else as you are used to from us.
As the EFF notes as part of their Encrypt the Web initiative, HTTPS strengthens our users in several ways, including protection against content and communication surveillance, cookie theft, account theft and other Web security flaws.
The Let’s Encrypt project gave us an efficient and automated way to provide SSL certificates for a large number of domains.
For you, this means that within minutes you will automatically see secure encryption on every new site. All traffic over HTTP will be excluded to improve the security of your site.
Google has also announced that HTTPS will be used as a ranking signal in search results, with HTTPS-enabled sites appearing above their competitors.
We take security very seriously and we are proud to offer this to users on the WP Provider platform. Do you have any questions about this change? If so, please contact us.
