Free Let’s Encrypt Wildcard SSL

Starting today, all SiteGround customers can get a free Let’s Encrypt Wildcard SSL. This will make the setup and maintenance of websites with subdomains much easier, as they can now be encrypted with a single certificate.

All it takes is a few clicks in our updated Let’s Encrypt interface in the cPanel. Ever since we heard that Let’s Encrypt plans to launch free Wildcard SSL, we’ve been eagerly waiting for this and we are proud to be among the first hosting companies to successfully integrate the new SSL into their platform. We strongly believe that global adoption of SSL certificates makes the Internet a more secure place.

Now we’re launching a new plugin update that includes something many of our clients have asked for – multisite support. Read on to see what we’ve done and how this can benefit you and your network of WordPress sites.

The Road to Nashville – WordCamp US 2017

Even if you’ve been to a lot of WordCamps, there are two special ones that are nothing like the others – WordCamp Europe and WordCamp US. This year, WordCamp US will be held in an iconic place – Nashville, TN, on December 1-3. The city alone deserves its own get-around guide but I will try to focus more on the WordPress part of it and use words like “barbeque” and “blues” as little as possible. Here is my list of things to help you get the most out of this massive event.

The Mysterious Job of a Kernel Developer: An Interview with a SiteGrounder

There’s a lot of work involved in crafting a great hosting product. Part of our efforts to guarantee that our clients’ websites perform better in all circumstances, is our unique hosting infrastructure built entirely on Linux containers. The specifics of this custom setup require a special kind of talent and skill set to maintain it – that of a Linux Kernel developer. Since there aren’t that many people programming on such level, their job description sounds almost mysterious. That’s why we’re very happy to have such rare talent on our team at SiteGround. We thought it would be interesting to tell you more about their work and how it helps your sites work better and safer- from our StartUp solutions to the Enterprise level. Meet Angel Shtilianov, our high-level specialist, responsible for Linux kernel development on our servers.
