HTTPS & New Server

[Administrator]

Downtime
We were down for 60 minutes (nearly exactly)
so I could transfer the forum to https:// and a
new server with a new host that's a lot faster.

HTTPS
We're now using HTTPS, this gives you a secure
connection to our server and replaces http:// with
https:// and gives a yellow/green padlock.

We're now 100% more official!

New Host
We're no longer using OVH (hoorah!), so the
website shouldn't have any more issues and
the website is located in NYC rather than FR!​

Who is the new host?

RamNode, not sponsored or anything - they were the most suggested by a few people.

Server performance is much better for me! Did you get your certificate through CloudFlare or another provider?

I recommend getting CloudFlare Pro and enabling Full SSL. Then sign a certificate and activate https on your web-server and then you have to ensure any links have https:// or proxied for a forum. Then use htaccess to redirect http:// and www to https://.

I wouldn't say it's worthwhile for a server forum though.
