SSL security is becoming a must-have for all websites. At Zibster, we are approaching the final stages of implementing sitewide SSL, which represents a big upgrade for your site security and scalability.

With the implementation of universal SSL across your entire website (including forms, marketing, communications, and proofing galleries), your online presence will be more secure, agile, and positioned to grow well into the future with enhanced technologies supporting your business!

Here is a breakdown of what is coming:

Timeline and details

Thanks to many months of planning and preparation by our development teams, we have nearly completed the testing that is necessary before implementing SSL. After we clear the final tests in the coming weeks, we will be able to begin implementing SSL encryption on our customer’s live websites. Barring any unforeseen challenges, we expect this upgrade to take place in early November.

Once SSL is available, you will be able to “turn on” SSL very simply in your control panel. Before turning on SSL, you may want to check that any third-party embedded widgets will function correctly using HTTPS or reconfigure your sitemap in Google Search Console to recognize the new HTTPS version of your website.

We are here to help

We know how important having SSL is to your business and this is our #1 top priority. All of our development resources are currently focused on rolling out SSL as quickly and smoothly as possible.

We will be releasing blog and support articles, as well as email reminders and updates to keep you informed of what is happening and any steps you need to complete to enable SSL on your Zibster website. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our support team. We are standing by Monday through Friday from 9 AM – 8 PM Eastern Time to guide you through this process and answer any questions you may have.

Thank you for choosing Zibster! Your continued trust means a lot, and we are working hard to make the absolute best website and tools for your business!
