You need to get on the HTTPS bandwagon as well https://doesmysiteneedhttps.com/ https://doesmysiteneedhttps.com/

  To be fair their entire app subdomain is under HTTPS just not their marketing site. But agreed on TLS-everything.

  Agreed - this was a side project developed almost 2 years ago. as someone else mentioned - entire app subdomain is under https. Only the marketing page is http.

  Brian Lunduke inadvertently found an exception to this. He wanted to make his site accessible by very old browsers... So he stopped using https. http://lunduke.com/ http://lunduke.com/ It's a dumb exception, but you guys might find it mildly amusing.

    Great, compromise the security for the 100% of users to keep the 0% reading linux news on IE2 able to visit.

I don't like how hard it is to find the pricing... which isn't even very explanatory. >All included at one low price - printing, postage and shipping. Only pay for what you send. Higher discounts at higher volume. As low as $1.50 per mail.

  TBH - this was a side project that has been running for 2 years. Not something that I have touched in a long time, it gets a steady stream of people using it via organic search.

We made https://mailprincess.com https://mailprincess.com a while back too. and http://maleprincess.com http://maleprincess.com too It lets you send letters, postcards, checks and faxes Wound up having a decent number of users at some point, but then people started abusing the check sending features. We took it down and built some anti-fraud stuff, but never did anything to acquire users again. It does continue to work perfectly well though. It's interesting that so many products like these exist in spaces that will probably never be huge and so there's no major VC funded player that may kill them all.

I would appreciate if you transparently disclose your pricing instead of making me register to see pricing.
