My hosting company this week directed me to www.whynopadlock.com to help me check and get code for helping me make my sites SSL secure. I thought is was very helpful. After entering my domain, it even provided the code that I needed to put in my .htaccess file. Plus it is free.
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)Godaddy will not offer me LetsEncrypt SSL certificate , they want me to pay for SSL.
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.
Thank you for the advice.
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.

Thanks for the solution!!
Where do I paste the code?
Is it an option in Xara? I can't find any htaccess file in my file manager.
I figured it out and got it to work.
Good post scupltex.
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.
