Recently, the hosting provider began to offer free “SSL” certificates for sites hosted on their servers. Without going into too much detail, this means that the website address starts with https:\\ instead of http:\\. Some browsers don’t even show that part if the address, but instead might show a lock icon, or say something like “not secure”.

You shouldn’t need to do anything different. Bookmarks/Favorites should still work. Though the only sensitive information a user might be entering is a login, it will be more secure now, as the info will be encrypted. It will have other benefits for the site, as some issues have come up due to the lack of a SSL certificate. Like the sharing icons right below here

Goal reached in 2 hours! Thanks. No further donations needed until 2025.

The post below is just for posterity:

Hi Folks,

It’s been three years and time to renew the hosting for the Wayne Alumni website, now in its 25th year. This website includes the main alumni website, Wayne Central Soccer HIstory, and Wayne Central Basketball History websites. It is $9.99 / month for 36 months, for which I am billed $359.64 and paid upfront (to get the discount). I’m looking to offset some of the cost.

Yes, it can be had cheaper initially, which we did the first three years, but it would require moving the website, which is a huge amount of effort.

I also cover the cost of the domain name separately.

Much work has been done in the last year to restore past content and add new. The Wayne Basketball History site was completely reworked and redesigned.

So I am looking to raise $250 from alumni to help support the website. Smaller donations are preferred.

Thanks to all who have supported this site for the last six years. They are named on the About page on the website.
