HTTPS is the secure version of HTTP. The type of security, encryption & trust used by probably all ecommerce providers, financial sites, etc.

Back in the day the vast majority of websites used HTTP. Partly because it was expensive back then both in terms of money and computer server resource usage.

Now, HTTPS is much lower cost with free SSL/TLS certificates available and computer hardware that can better handle it.

So we will be trying out HTTPS with GreekChat.

Chances are that it may not even be noticeable when I switch GC over from HTTP to HTTPS. You may or may not see a new security icon in your web browser and/or maybe different security notifications while viewing GC. But if you notice any changes like that in your browser while using the site and are wondering why that happened, GC switching to HTTPS is probably the reason.

Thank you for the update, John. So now, this site will be more secure?
