HTTPS Hosting — Encrypted Web Hosting with SSL Included

Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and other major browsers now flag HTTP websites with prominent "Not Secure" warnings. These warnings appear in the address bar on every page, deterring visitors and damaging your site's credibility. For sites with forms, login pages, or any user input, the warnings are especially prominent, effectively telling visitors not to trust your site.

Google uses HTTPS as a ranking signal in its search algorithm, giving encrypted sites a measurable advantage in search results. This advantage compounds with other ranking factors — an HTTPS site with good content outranks the same content served over HTTP. For any business that depends on organic search traffic, HTTPS is a competitive requirement, not a luxury.

Beyond browser warnings and SEO, HTTPS protects your visitors' privacy and your site's integrity. Without encryption, ISPs can inject advertisements into your pages, governments can monitor what your visitors read, and hackers on shared networks can steal credentials. HTTPS hosting eliminates all of these threats with strong encryption between your server and every visitor.

A common misconception is that HTTPS is slower than HTTP. With modern protocols, the opposite is often true. AnubizHost servers use TLS 1.3, which completes the encryption handshake in a single round trip — faster than the two round trips required by TLS 1.2. For returning visitors, TLS 1.3 supports 0-RTT resumption, establishing encryption with zero additional latency.

HTTP/2, which requires HTTPS, enables multiplexing — sending multiple files over a single connection simultaneously rather than sequentially. This eliminates the head-of-line blocking that makes HTTP/1.1 slow, resulting in faster page loads especially for sites with many images, scripts, and stylesheets. Our servers also support HTTP/3 with QUIC for even faster performance on unreliable networks.

We optimize our TLS configuration for speed as well as security. Session tickets enable fast resumption for repeat visitors, OCSP stapling eliminates the extra round trip to check certificate revocation, and our cipher suite preferences prioritize ChaCha20-Poly1305 for mobile devices and AES-GCM for desktop clients, ensuring optimal performance across all platforms.

Unlike providers that charge extra for HTTPS, AnubizHost includes free SSL certificates on every hosting plan — from our $3.99/month shared hosting to our enterprise dedicated servers. There is no SSL add-on, no certificate upgrade fee, and no per-domain charge. Encryption is a fundamental feature, not a premium extra.

Our free SSL certificates are powered by Let's Encrypt and are automatically issued, installed, and renewed for every domain on your account. When you add a new domain or subdomain, SSL is provisioned automatically within minutes. When it is time to renew, the process happens without any action from you. HTTPS simply works.

If you need higher validation levels — OV for business identity or EV for maximum trust — we offer those as optional upgrades starting at $49 per year. But the baseline encryption is always free and always active. No AnubizHost customer ever needs to serve their site over unencrypted HTTP unless they explicitly choose to.

If you are moving from an HTTP-only host to AnubizHost, the transition to HTTPS is seamless. We provide free migration assistance that includes transferring your files and databases, configuring your domain, issuing your SSL certificate, and setting up HTTP-to-HTTPS redirection. Your visitors are automatically directed to the secure version of your site from day one.

Our migration team handles the technical details that catch many site owners off guard: updating internal links from HTTP to HTTPS, fixing mixed content references in databases and configuration files, updating canonical tags and sitemaps, and configuring proper redirect rules that preserve your SEO rankings through the protocol change.

After migration, your AnubizHost dashboard provides real-time monitoring of your HTTPS status. A security health indicator shows whether your site has any mixed content, certificate issues, or suboptimal security headers. One-click fixes resolve most issues automatically, and our support team is available for anything that requires manual attention. Moving to HTTPS hosting has never been easier.
