Title: Secure Domain Name setup
Post by: CSR Direct Project on October 17, 2019, 09:34:13 pm

Hello everyone, sometime I will explain why I'm very glad to find you folks here.  The whole Create a Forum service.

I have been able to stumble through setting up my domain name csrmnforums.info for one of my forum sites.  But, I want to find a way to set up the httpS:// or secure domain setting for my domain.  I have several sites under development through Godaddy, and associated secure domains set up for them.  The CSR Direct Project (https://csrdirectproject.org) is about both Community Service as well as Social Justice, but not with the commonly understood thinking, or practices. 

• My website (example listings) with secure domain address format https://csrmpls.info/free-meals
• I "bought" the domain at least 8 years ago.  Beginning of this year I started recreating (4th time) all of my websites for this Project by using (paying for) the Godaddy Sitebuilder service.
• When I found "Create a Forum" services, I began recreating my official forums website for what is called the Minnesota Project & Network.
• Is there a way to change my Domain name address (www.csrmnforums.info (http://www.csrmnforums.info)) status to include the secure https:// domain name service for my Forums sites?!
• I have yet to purchase a domain name for www.csrdirectforums.createaforum.com (http://www.csrdirectforums.createaforum.com) Forums site.  For the overall development of the CSR Direct Project.

Thank you for your time...

Yes, you can we support custom domains which can be found Admin -> Domain Manager
By default all non custom domain forums have SSL

For custom domain users we have a SSL upgrade package for us to order/install an SSL on your forum which is found in the upgrades section.

Hi there,

I bought an an SSL Certificate through GoDaddy for my domain www.azzgab.world (http://www.azzgab.world) and I would like to know how to implement it.

GoDaddy wanted me to verify ownership of my domain by sending emails to admin@azzgab.world and webmaster@azzgab.world but the trouble is I have no idea how to log in to those emails and I'm not even sure they exist. This seems to be the only way I'll be able to verify ownership of my domain, yet I can't seem to do so.

Any help would be appreciated.

Email verification is not going to work
Generally we have $50 setup fee for SSL under the upgrades section. I like to buy it ourselves and then setup. Since we verify ourselves though a http verification which is easier.
