To be fair encryption should come as standard, like Sky trying to charge extra for HD channels if you used adwords you would get more bang for your buck, both responsive design and SSL contribute to greater quality score...apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought domains were sold too cheaply anyhow, should be £100 per year at least, also the .uk take up was never going to be overnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google and Nominet should hang their head in shame, i don't know if anybody remembers when we used to send transfer papers to Nominet (showing my age) and the same fee applied when it became automated online. we fought so, so hard for Nominet to forget the .uk extension and we had it set aside twice but greed prevailed.

Is the uploads directory where that screenshot is served from a different virtual directory that isn't being protected by the certificate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you doing with the domains, squatting? Buying for a fiver then sticking them up for sale for a grand? The initial registration should be much higher, £100, then renewals much cheaper like £10 a year. .uk makes sense to me, a lot of countries have a short 2 or 3 character extension, the .co.uk made no sense. The greed comes not with that but with all these new and what will be confusing extensions like .hotel .city .plumber may as well scrap them all together now and just go with a one word name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same server, same location as all other images that are uploaded, not sure how or why it can recognise what's a screenshot. Looking on the support forum it's the same over there, odd one really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 It's a good thing, it means whatever you type from your keyboard into this website is now more secure and encrypted. So whilst things like passwords stored on the server were already encrypted, anything you type in cannot be intercepted by any virus or whatever these geeks use. You will notice all banks and shopping sites where you type in your personal details will also have the padlock, although some will be Green. If you see a Green one these are slightly different, they also encrypt all your data but it's also a trust thing, they have had company checks, provided proof they are who they say they are etc. You should never enter any personal details, debit card, bank accounts etc. into any site that doesn't have a padlock.
