I'm writing this to ask if you support https or not. In http://www.xisto.com/helpdesk/index.php?cmd=status , I found that not all server support this.

I need to know because I'm going to setup a forum that require https.

A quick https didnt return any thing...
but when i checked in phpinfo https comes under registered php streams. I think its enabled ..but u need to setup some sort of certificate ..
i will look into it though cause i plan to make an https site too

for what purpose you would want to create an https site ? especially a forum ? what you want to save ? it will load for a lot of people in the world a lot of times slower it is really good if you really want to save/secure something, like credit card stuff and etc. but why for a forum ? :S

No, that's just an example. I want to protect my users from losing important information like their password (many people use the same password for different sites). I also need a https for something else. I'm learning HTTPS in PHP. And I need a place to test my scripts. I can't do that without a https enabled server.

Quatrux , well I think its good that HTTPs is used , and it doesnot slow any thing if things are configured properly and properly written website is used. There is an overhead but its negligible..considering the performance of webservers these days.

i think http , telnet and ftp should just be dropped in favor of https , ssh and sftp

it slows down things to many people in the world, because it is a different protocol than http and most isp has set it to a low value, like browsing/downloading through http protocol I get more than 1MB/s and browsing https than I need to login to my bank account, 12-100kb/s in my country, in foreign even slower, like I remember it was almost imposible to browse firefox extensions/themes pages.

We just need https for important information only. The https page just be called once when user login or send somekind of secret data. So, the connection speed doesn't matter.

Yes, I agree that it is only useful for important information

OK,OK. But after all these discussion. My question is still remain unanswered. Admins, I want to know :

DO ASTAHOST SUPPORT HTTPS OR NOT?

Well if you could look into phpinfo of the server you would find this:

it is compiled: --with-openssl

Registered PHP Streams - php, http, ftp, https, ftps, compress.zlib

in apache version: mod_ssl/2.8.25 OpenSSL/0.9.7a and mod_ssl is loaded

OpenSSL support enabled
Version: OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003

and many more in the info so it is enabled.
