The Secure Web Is Here To Stay!

As we announced recently, today, June 5th, we are moving all remaining Hoop.la communities to HTTPS in order to protect the integrity of them all. We are pleased to announce the conversion process has now been completed!

All internal Hoop.la links have been converted to HTTPS automatically. If your community includes any resources that are not secure, browsers will display an insecure warning. You will need to manually update these resource links to use HTTPS, which could include images, CSS, JavaScript, and other embeds such as iframes and video players.

As for inbound links (e.g. links from other sites that lead to your Hoop.la community), those will automatically be redirected to HTTPS so you do not worry about updating them.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. You can visit the FAQ section on our previous blog post or submit a request via support topic to [email protected] or https://hey.crowdstack.com/support.

Great! I was about to email you all about why I kept getting security warnings when logging into my site. They seem to be gone now, though I will continue to monitor.

Unless you have a reason to use a standard certificate, the free Let's Encrypt certificates will be enough to provide encryption to your community.

SO is there a need to pay for SSL through any other provider to have encryption?
