Let's encrypt

January 1, 2017

PlushForums now ships with free SSL support, right out of the box! This brings huge security, privacy and performance benefits to our customers.

The whole system is automated using Let's Encrypt. It's completely hassle-free and ready to be activated with a single click. And we hope you do, because Google are going to make SSL a big deal in 2017. All Chrome users will start to see warnings when browsing insecure sites. That won't be an issue with Plush.

Also, we're now using a CDN to serve static assets like images, which will hugely accelerate our global performance. We really want to give our customers as much as possible for their $49, which now includes SSL, Akismet spam protection, global CDN delivery and hourly backups. We're only going to keep adding value from here.
