Let's Make Your Website Secure in REI BB

At REI BlackBook, we offer secured website hosting, https://, for all of your hosted domains.
Having a secure website is important because it means any data being pass between web servers and clients is concealed. If you have a non-secure website with a webform for prospects to fill out, their entered information can be stolen. 
You can tell that a website is secure by seeing a lock next to the website address located at the top of your browser. You also can tell if a URL begins with https. 
All newly purchased domains will automatically take advantage of secure hosting, while existing purchased domains and all imported domains require a few simple steps to do so.
