is there a way to turn on https:?

https: is more secure. Is there a way to use it with this site?

Good tech answer oesman. It can be done fairly easily by anyone that has as large a footprint as Eccie.

But perhaps exploring the "why" or "if" there is a need for https? I am not a network-tech, but i am in the world and can not come up with a subscriber-oriented reason to implement such protocol.

The payment system is https and that is to be expected.

Ok, I admit it, I am bored and locked-down at home with nothing better to do than ponder such things. LOL!!

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a combination of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) with SSL/TLS protocol. It provides encrypted communication and secure identification of a network web server. HTTPS connections are often used for payment transactions on the World Wide Web and for sensitive transactions in corporate information systems.

So it would make a page secure. So are we thinking about keeping conversations secure = pms secure? I would have to check, the actual certification would not be that expensive as jframe suggested but I have a feeling that bandwidth would be intense which could well bring a premium price to the site. Many need more techocrats to answer this one for sure.
