SSL/HTTPS activation for existing SiteBuilder website

Hello Homestead Support Team,

I am currently using the classic Homestead SiteBuilder to host my website, www.empirelightsound.com.

My website works correctly over HTTP, but HTTPS is not available. When I try to access https://www.empirelightsound.com, the browser displays a connection error.

The website is also accessible through its original Homestead address:
https://djiakeb.homestead.com/index.html

I would like to enable SSL/HTTPS for both empirelightsound.com and www.empirelightsound.com while keeping my existing website, domain registration and email services with Homestead.

Could you please clarify:

  1. Can Homestead activate SSL/HTTPS for my existing classic SiteBuilder website?

  2. Can this be done without migrating or rebuilding my website?

  3. Are there any additional costs involved?

  4. If SSL is not supported directly, what alternative solution would you recommend?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best regards,
Bruno

Are you using sb+ or sitebuilder desktop.
