This means the website you&#8217;re trying to see is using HTTP protocol, an insecure connection, as opposed to HTTPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with the regular HTTP protocol is that the information that flows from server to browser is not encrypted, which means it is vulnerable to cyberthreats of all kinds: they could impact the site&#8217;s functions, prevent visitors from accesing it or compromise yours and your customer&#8217;s personal and financial information, if we&#8217;re talking about an eCommerce website. This can also damage your reputation and cost you a lot of money. HTTPS protocols remedy this by using an SSL (secure sockets layer) certificate, which helps create a secure encrypted connection between the server and the browser, protecting sensitive information from being stolen as it is transferred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a Host Duplex customer and still have questions, please open a ticket in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/secure.hostduplex.com\/clientarea.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Host Duplex client portal.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most browsers will alert users if they access insecure websites by displaying a &#8220;Not Secure&#8221; warning.
