SSL has become really simple and cheap. In Germany there are still many providers who charge 100€ per year. I can imagine that this is becoming increasingly important.
It also creates a lot of trust in my opinion.

Many greetings

Thanks for the info. Just did it through the whm and cpanel.

Don’t forget to redirect http to https using htaccess. i found this code.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

In reply to Joan.

Google has some documentation here – https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6033049

Basically you’ll want to add the https version to your search console – https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/34592?hl=en

Nice. Been thinking about making the move to SSL. This is just the right motivation I needed.

This was extremely helpful! I’ve been referring to you guys (and singing your praises to others) since I’ve started working on my business about a year ago. It’s easy to understand, to the point, and just awesome in every way.

Thanks for all y’all do!

Hey HOTH Team,

I got our website’s SSL certificate from GoDaddy.
So sad, I only read about this today.
I could have saved a few bucks, LOL.

Anyway, the good thing is our site is now on https.
But when I enter or keywords and click on our website on the SERP, I still
see the http version…

What am I missing please?

Thanks!
