    Hi @John Taylor I actually looked into this with GoDaddy on a couple of occasions and almost pulled the trigger, but the cost was $175 a year and I thought that was pretty steep for the tradeoff. $100 for the HTTPS secure SSL and $75 for the installation from the GoDaddy guys.

    That said, I'm thinking of doing this in the future so it's back on the table again. Donations are always welcomed too. :) 

    If GoDaddy charges $75 a pop for Certificate installation than I need to quit my job and just do that for a living. I actually manage all my company's websites and SSL certs (We buy ours from GoDaddy as well.)

     

    Is GoDaddy your hosting company?

     

    Here are all the SSL certs I'm stuck managing at work. My company is bound by PCI and HIPAA so we have to buy certs from a trusted Certificate Authority (GoDaddy) or else I would do the LetsEncrypt as well.:

    For AW I would recommend a 2 or 3 year UCC SSL, its important to get a UCC cert that you add all possible website combinations in the cert (like both www.angelswin-forum.com and angelswin-forum.com) and any other hostnames that might redirect to the site. Also its easier to not have to manage the certificate every year, so i generally do 2 or 3 year certs.

     

    When you're ready to pull the trigger feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions. I'll send a donation to your paypal to help with the cost sometime this month.

     

    The only shitty thing is that you consistently have to renew the certs on 2 or 3 year intervals depending on which cert you buy which means you consistently have to pay money so your site does this:

    And its a forum so its not like Credit Card info or PHI is being transmitted here, but a pretty skilled hacker could be able to find out that TDawg's forum password is "ILoveChuck247"
