is it hard to setup https for a site? i tried reading up on it but the words might as well be in a foreign language
don't most companies who sell the ssl certificate also install them?

since it's "easy" to do it yourself, I was hoping to save some money. There are companies that give free certificates.

You can get free ssl by signing up for a free cloudflare account.

Yes it would, in any event you shouldn't use the same password for 2 sites not a big issue here unless you're afraid someone might hijack your HT or likes.

if Dan is interested to implement HTTPS you can do it free with https://letsencrypt.org/  which is supported, sponsored and developed by major Tech companies.

if you'r using AWS maybe look into https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/aws-announces-certificate-manager-similar-to-le/9289

Starting in July, Google Chrome with their upcoming release (version 68), the browser will warn users anytime they browse to a site that's non-HTTPS.

don't forget if you're on a shared environment most likely you'l need to repeat the steps every three months might not be cost effective.

Why every three months?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Why not just add it through cloudflare?

Lets-encrypt certs are valid for 90 days, they have scripts to automate the renewal process but you need root access which shared environments usually don't provide.
