We have just made it possible to use secure HTTPS connections for domains hosted at Gigahost, and it is very easy to get started.
Why use HTTPS and SSL?
Whenever you visit a page with HTTPS, the entire connection is encrypted with a protocol called SSL. All traffic sent from the server to the visitor is encrypted, which is especially useful when you are on a public wifi network and do not trust every router and network on the way to the server.
To use HTTPS properly, a certificate must be issued for every domain you want to protect.
Easy and affordable
For just 69 DKK per month, including VAT, you can protect a domain with HTTPS. The price includes the SSL certificate, a private dedicated IP address, and our setup of the domain for SSL. The content from the domain folder will automatically be shown over the secure connection when the website is visited over HTTPS.
Works with all popular browsers
We only use certificates from approved certificate authorities, which work in all popular browsers, including browsers on mobile phones and other mobile devices.
Private IP address
Due to the way SSL works, each domain name needs its own dedicated IP address. This is included in the price, and we automatically set up the IP address for use with the domain name. Both regular HTTP and secure HTTPS will respond on the IP address.
How to get started
We take care of the whole process with our new One-Click SSL system. This means you do not have to handle certificate requests and issues, keys, IP addresses, or anything else. Everything is set up for you automatically.
To enable HTTPS for a domain, log in to the Control Center and choose the domain. Go to the tab called “Security” and click “Set up SSL” to get started.
