I dont have an SSL Certificate for my store.
How can i turn SSL off on my store for now ?
I keep getting this error message: ( see attached )
Customers are unable to get onto the site at times

Thanks
Ben

ok i have figured this one out..

In includes/config.php i made ssl = false.

Once again, I strongly recommend all store owners to have their own SSL certificates in place and keep them current.

I'd add that SSL certs:

1. AREN'T just used for payment data scrambling - anytime information is entered into a form (eg a new account, contact us, customer AND admin logins) if you're not using an SSL, you're sending it plain text. Nowadays, ID fraud is worth $$$

2. You'll also get the same Chrome warning message from the OP if you're trying to access eg cPanel, webmin etc which run under different ports. This doesn't mean it's insecure. Usually these facilities will have self-signed ssl certs which aren't the same as your purchased domain SSL.

I quite agree with most of that. As a host we feel it is very important to have valid commercial SSL's on every hosting panel.

The wild cards are cheap enough that there really is no reason for us not to do so. Only reason we don't use them to offer "free shared ssl" is that it would cost our clients a lot in terms of sales lost to lack of clarity about their domain ownership.

The 25% increase touted by the SSL industry for having your own SSL is, in my experience , considerably
under stated.
