Squarespace is awesome, but until they offer SSL certificates I can't recommend it to anyone. This is very unfortunate because it's a great product otherwise.

- jasonbarone 10y agoFounder/CEO Anthony Casalena mentioned on an interview with TNW (http://thenextweb.com/insider/2016/04/15/squarespace-now-lets-purchase-domain-straight-site/#gref http://thenextweb.com/insider/2016/04/15/squarespace-now-let...) that free SSL would be coming soon to Squarespace customers by way of their new Domains service. Cloudflare SSL can be used with Squarespace as an alternative. Everything Squarespace does underneath is over https already
- arc 10y agoIt's coming! I've personally wanted seamless SSL for all Squarespace customers on custom domains for forever now, and we've put a lot of work into making it a reality. Furthermore, before initiatives like Let's Encrypt, the business/logistics side of getting this in place was a mess. (Disclosure: I'm the founder/CEO of Squarespace)
- ghawkescs 10y agoThis is great! I really like Squarespace but this is one of the big features I have been waiting on. The other one is integrated A/B testing, or at least an easy way to work with A/B testing frameworks. Are there any plans to support this?
- didgeoridoo 10y agoNot "seamless", but if you set up a VPS as a reverse proxy to your site with NGINX and Certbot, you can get Let's Encrypt running with Squarespace today. Doesn't require a huge amount of technical know-how; it was only the second SSL cert I'd ever installed. If anyone is interested in detailed instructions, shoot me an email.
