    Default Re: changing hosts and ssl

    It's a bummer that Plusnet doesn't offer SSL certificates, but don't worry - you don't necessarily have to switch providers. Have you considered using a third-party SSL certificate provider like Let's Encrypt or Cloudflare? They're both free and can be used with a variety of hosting providers.
    If you do decide to switch hosts, make sure to do your research and find one that will support Xara and offer an SSL certificate. Some hosts may try to push you into using their template-based system, but you should be able to find one that lets you stick with what you're comfortable with. I personally recommend is*hosting for any purposes you might have.

    I have removed your link. Those that are interested in your unsolicited suggestion are more than welcome to find it themselves. It might not have been useful to all TGers; ping times to the States might be slow for many. That is where a free account with Cloudflare excels as then you are publishing through its edge servers that are world-wide.

    The problem you have presented is a non-Xara design link in your very first Post. This is counter to the TG rules that you have not read carefully enough.

    What you have said is actually solid other than all service providers will support a Xara design as it is static HTML.

    Do note that you are replying to a Post that is almost two years old. Plusnet may or may not offer free SSL certificates but you provide no evidence of such. We try to work with facts, not opinions.

    TL; DR? Then Any service provider + Cloudflare works extremely well.
