WordPress.com will automatically enable HTTPS for all custom domain names associated with its websites. The company worked with Let’s Encrypt, a new certificate authority that provides free SSL/TLS certificates and automates their deployment, configuration and renewal. CloudFlare has been providing HTTPS with free certificates for all websites that use its security service since 2014 and Plex enabled users to protect their media servers with HTTPS since June 2015. WordPress.com joins other large services that provide website owners with the ability to enable HTTPS.”]
