RE: Google Will Soon Shame All Websites That Are Unencrypted | Motherboard

Google is gonna display unsecure notices for HTTP sites soon. Are you gonna encrypt them all? If so, check out https://letsencrypt.org/ as it gives you SSL certs for free (here is the cPanel script https://github.com/Prajithp/letsencrypt-cpanel). 301-ing HTTP to HTTPS does not lose PageRank by the way (see No PageRank Loss When 301 or 302 Redirect to HTTPS).

If not, what are you gonna do?

For me, I'm gonna sit down and update my sites to HTTPS this quarter. I might also cough up some cash to buy SSL certs on web hosts that can't run Lets Encrypt. For PBNs, I'll let them stay with HTTP since they're not meant to get human visitors anyways.
