Move your site to Google cloud and get 300usd credit for the year, then set up a free SSL. Then you have everything free for a year and fast site. GoDaddy will charge you for everything. It's worth learning

It's shocking that GoDaddy doesn't charge you to log into your account. Move on from them, they are the worst.

They'll call you and try to sell you an "improved user login experience" or some similar crap, then call you every couple of months to try to sell you something else.  

Answer 19

Change to SiteGround or BlueHost for about $48-$72 for the first year. Get better performance. SSL included.  

Answer 20

I love siteground. They have the best customer service too

Answer 21

Second that for siteground - very impressed with them

Answer 22

You can use cloudflare completely free.  

Answer 23

Freessl. com

Answer 24

@rohr66 Fastest, free solution is to change your domain's nameservers to Cloudflare. Cloudflare imports all your DNS records so you won't lose MX records for email etc., then layers on CDN, caching, minification, and SSL. Alternately, , LetsEncrypt offers free SSL certificates - setting up the auto-renewal & placing the certificate on your GoDaddy account requires a little dev hacking, however (usually). I'm not personally a fan of either SiteGround or GoDaddy hosting (and I have family that works for GoDaddy lol). not that they're not enough for many sites, I'm just a performance snob. For Wordpress, I prefer Pantheon, WPEngine, Kinsta, or Flywheel (all of which have SSL includes plus a TON of wordpress-specific optimization. If you're hosting a static site. JAMstack or javascript app, I tend to lean toward Netlify (again, SSL provided free). but regardless of your host you can layer Cloudflare (little- to no-code) or LetsEncrypt (minimal code) to implement SSL
