FYI.....aside from Firefox and Chrome browsers who now punish those sites without an SSL (HTTP) certificate by calling those sites UNSECURE.....The Google search engine also punishes webmasters who do not have SSL by de-ranking and in some cases de-listing those sites from Google searches....see this article....

So this really is a racket.....you either buy an expensive SSL certificate for your site every year.....or else you disappear from Google searches.

This is more about generating fees for the Domain registration industry, than it is about security.

Don't be concerned about this. There is nothing you can do about it on the customer side. It just means that the webmaster has not renewed his SSL certificate (HTTPS) so that is why it is coming up that way...because the site's SSL certificate has expired. Only the webmaster can fix that. As Miguel said....this is not a problem because all sites with a payment processor link to an external payment server that is fully secure anyway.

FYI....this forum is no different.....it comes up on my browser as an unsecure site as well...because the SSL certificate has expired...

I think that SSL certificates are somewhat of a scam that is perpetrated on webmasters and is a means to gouge webmasters with more fees....because the annual fees to renew a SSL certificate are expensive.....and the browser industry punishes webmasters who do not pay those extra SSL fees by flagging their sites as "unsecure" in their browsers.

It's no different to the mafia insisting you buy an expensive special badge for your store...and if you don't....then you are targeted for persecution.

As Miguel said...so long as the site connects to a secure server for payment processing....which all paysites do, then having an SSL cert on your main site seems superfluous to me....but then again...I am not a techie....this is just my lay person's opinon....i.e. SSL certs are a "racket" designed to generate extra bucks for the Domain registration companies.

Just use a password you don’t use for anything else and such a username if needed. And you won’t have any problems. The payment server is secure.
