Security Certificate

I have an older HTML site for palazzololaw.com. I tried using homesteadssl.com, but it says my domain doesn't exist on the builder. Can you please manually provision a security certificate for my older site account? People can't access the site because there is no SSL - https. Thank you.

Your website is online, working for me. However, your website is not secure.

You may want to secure your website to prevent shoppers from avoiding the site because it's not secure.

You can SSL your Sitebuilder Plus website by following this article:

If you're having trouble with the Cloudflare setup, you can always call for assistance at 1-800-710-1998.

Thanks. That is the problem I am trying to solve. The site was created with all HTML a long time ago. It opens ok with www., but it gets an error without it. I'm hoping Homestead can give me an SSL. I'm looking for another place to get help at Homestead, but it looks like this is it. I'll click on the link you listed and see if I can figure anything out with that. Thanks again.

@joseph7578​ If you follow the instructions, you can do this yourself. If you have problems and you don't succeed you can always call support or ask google.

Thank you for the help. I may be able to get an SSL for the desktop website, but I'm out of luck on the mobile site. I contacted Duda support, and they confirmed that my old mobile redirect site is completely obsolete and can never be made secure (HTTPS). As of September 30th, 2019, Duda no longer supports the mobile sites product. 

Unfortunately, I think it may be time to shut down both websites. However, I've been doing some research on Website Builder. I think that route would be the best solution to this problem. The site might not be as nice as the current one, but maybe it could be even better with some effort.

@joseph7578​ Duda has not supported Homestead website for many years. You can secure your website however. If you want a mobile friendly website, you'd need to rebuild your website using Homestead Websitebuilder.

Homestead Sitebuilder Plus (SB+) does not include built-in automatic SSL security, unlike the newer Homestead Websitebuilder platform. [1]
Security Features for Sitebuilder Plus
  • Manual SSL via Cloudflare: You can secure your Sitebuilder Plus website by setting up a free SSL certificate externally through a service like Cloudflare.
  • Community Guides: Homestead provides step-by-step instructions in the Homestead Community Forum to help configure HTTPS for SB+ sites.
  • Phone Support: If you need help with the external security setup, you can call Homestead support directly at 1-800-710-1998.

Hello,

 

I understand how important it is to have a secure website. I would like to let you know that, since your website is hosted on the older SiteBuilder Plus platform, it requires Cloudflare to enhance its security and help protect it from potential threats.
