    Default Re: Changing a Xara website to secure SSL (https)

    Godaddy will not offer me LetsEncrypt SSL certificate , they want me to pay for SSL.
    Get yourself a cloudflare account, you'll get a CDN and a free SSL, you just change the nameservers over to cloudflare (5 minute job)

    Edit - just seen the date for this, but it still applies, the account with cloudflare is free, comes with the SSL certificate and should speed up your website loading speed for people not based near the servers.

    I found that out recently as well for one of my other clients that are using GoDaddy. We use Blue Host and have been successfully adding the FREE .htaccess to our clients but was not able to for GoDaddy. Most are offering the free but GoDaddy & I believe Network Solutions are not.

    I use LCN (lcn.com) and then will let you use LE.

    Where do I paste the code?

    Is it an option in Xara? I can't find any htaccess file in my file manager.

    Cloudflare is great!! But if you use it be aware of this issue in this thread that I had with it... https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...loudflareShort story - use the Developer Mode when you update your website to clean your cache file so your website displays correctly.

    For those of you on GoDaddy that aren't tech savvy, I just followed this guys video, and it worked.

    Since it's free, it needs to be done every 90 days, but after you do it once, it's not really that bad.
    Also worked with my subdomain site.

    This is invaluable, thank you.

    I followed all of your steps and it appears to work. However, I am now experiencing problems with the display of my website in http vs https. It is created in Xara DP (I have the latest version) and hosted by one.com. It has over 500 pages and a lot of content. In https, while the images are presented correctly, the fonts and font sizes are not and some text is invisible until highlighted. The same problem manifests in multiple browsers. The only way around it was to install a temporary .htaccess file that redirects everything back to http, which is far from ideal. All I can think is that something in the SSL is interfering with the linkages in the styles or fonts somehow. I am hoping that someone will be prepared to jump in with a suggestion for a fix. Thanks in advance.
