Club System Sites now more secure

Over the past few months I have been working with the new hosting company (WebRes) to enhance the security on Club System. I'm happy to announce that as of last week all Club System sites have support for TLS encryption enabled.

This means your site will now be accessible over https. When accessing your Club System site (depending on the browser you use) you should see a lock icon or the word Secure, indicating any information sent to the site is encrypted and private.

Some advantages of using https:

  • All data flowing to and from the site is encrypted and therefore is private and more secure
  • Https sites are ranked higher that unencypted sites
  • Some browsers (such as Chrome) will stop showing pages which are not encrypted in the near future

If you have any queries about this, or are facing issues accessing your sites please let me know.
