All right.
Welcome back in this lecture we're gonna go ahead and make sure that you have your SSL activated and
also how to deactivated should you want that.
And also I'm gonna show you how to activate the site lock CDM.
Now if you are not using blue host as your host you can go ahead and skip this lecture and move on to
the next one because this is only going to apply to the blue host users.
OK so skip to the next one we're going to go through SSL and see the end more in-depth and then find
an alternative solution.
So we're going to start off e at Blue House dot com here and then we're going to click on a log in because
we're gonna go and check out and see the SS l.
So here we are.
And now we're going to go to marketplace and then we're going to click on Adams and down below here
you're gonna see something that's called SSL certificates.
Now if I click on here I'm gonna get into this site and you can see that it says also SSL is on.
That means that we have our SSL activated.
Again if you're still confused with SSL is don't worry about it.
We're going to talk more about that in the next lecture but know that it's super important for security
FCO and basically to rank and be safe.
So I know that this is on and that should also mean that if I go to Robin and Jesper dot com I'm going
to get this little padlock going on here.
And if that also means that I am secured because the padlock SSL means that I have an E TTP it's Web
sites.
If I click here you can see that it says H TTP s.
Now if I didn't have this it would either just say h TTP or it might just look like this and there would
be no padlock.
Now let me show you an example.
Now there is a website called weight trainer.
If I go in the first thing you're gonna notice is that there is no padlock going on.
And if I click kid there's no H TTP s so they are not using a SSL certificate which means that it's
not going to be safe and it's not going to rank properly as well as it could.
We're going to go more in depth into this in the next lecture and show you why and how it works.
So that is for the SSL.
Now let me show you also how to activate the site looks CDM because that's one of the wonderful features
that comes with blue host first would get the free SSL which is awesome it's really real good.
And we also get a free CDM.
So what we want to do is actually be at our home right here and then we're going to go ahead and go
to the dashboard.
And now we're going to move up to Blue host and we're going to click on performance and then we're going
to move to CDM.
Now since I've been playing around with this before it says we're setting up you see the end.
This is not true I've actually deactivated it but for you it's actually going to say acted on or off
fear activated deactivated things is going to stay on and off.
But this is super important for you to know unless you have actually bought an SSL you cannot activate
this.
And the reason for that is that the SSL that we have here the free SSL is only going to work for your
Web site true blue host OK.
So because we're using the blue ho server we can use an SSL certificate but if we are using a CDM that
means we're going to be using someone else's servers and if we're using someone else's servers we are
no longer using blue host servers and if we're no longer using blue host servers we do not get the free
SSL certificate.
OK.
So that means that if you click this on you're going to lose to SSL you're no longer going to be able
to do PSN that is not worth it guys.
But this is perfect.
If you have actually been in the game before and you already have an active SSL then you can go ahead.
You can activate this because the site looks seedy and it's actually very powerful and very secure but
for the rest of us mortals who are still using this one the free SSL we're not going to activate the
site look see then what we're going to go ahead and do is actually use a knob there see the end that's
called CloudFlare.
Now the CloudFlare CDM is amazing because with them you get a company that has see designs all over
the world.
They are free free forever it's called free forever plan which means that they are free and they're
going to stay free.
And also amazingly enough they're also going to give us a free SSL.
So that is going to solve our problem because while we also get to see the end from CloudFlare and because
that is a free SSL we need to use to CloudFlare servers and because for using their seed then we're
going to be using their servers.
I hope this makes sense guys.
But what I'm trying to say is that cloud 4 is going to solve all of this.
It's gonna give us the well and it's also going to give us the CDM.
But before we move on on how to do that I actually want to go more in-depth into SSL and CDO and why
they are so great their capability.
And then let's move on to set this up because guys this is make it or break it to understanding the
value of your website and security how it works and how you're protecting your customers to see in the
next lecture.
