Resolved I can not see my website by https but if by Http

[nurialoz]

My only problem is that I cannot access via https, it gives the message of unsafe connection and the page shows Apache is functioning normally. The page is accessible by Http: although it continues indicating an unsecured connection.

Please some idea to solve it, sorry but I am a novice in these issues.

A cordial greeting

Nuria

You can use Cloudflare (or similar) to accomplish this. You need to use it in flexible mode. They have multiple sources of information on their site.

To do this, you need your own domain. For example, mydomain.x10.mx or mydomain.pcriot.com won't work. Just search for "free subdomain" on the internet and you can find some providers.

You tell me that I need my own domain, I already have it, freenom provides it.

My question is: Is this enough and my problem with Https is configuration (Domain Pointers
Site Redirection, ...), or do I also need Cloudflare?

If I need clourflare, would a free plan be enough?

Thank you very much and sorry for my ignorance and my English.

free x10hosting accounts do not provide https anymore.
if you want https you have to use cloudflare for it.
i believe the free package will do that, but you might have issues
with the ssl certificate.

No, it works fine with free. But you have to use flexible mode. If you try to do any other mode, it fails because the HTTPS cert is not valid for, in example, yourdomain.x10.mx, but it is valid for x12.x10hosting.com. This mismatch causes the error. It's an oddity of DirectAdmin, since cPanel treated it more gracefully. However, CloudFlare (or something similar) will ignore this mismatch in flexible mode and when your users go to your site, they see CloudFlare's cert, which will be valid.

There are some security nuances to this, but if you're using x10hosting free, I'm assuming you're not doing HIPPA or ITAR work, so you're probably ok.
