Scott,

"Remove access to port 80" ..

Is this a DNS thing?  Or does my web hosting company have to do this for me?

I have the same issue and concerns, as Emma posted, with a site I just had a
certificate installed on.

Thanks,

Michele

| what's happening is http:// equals port 80 and https:// equals port 443.
| What ya gotta do is remove access to port 80, and yer set.

| You've got everything set up right, now you cut off the access you don't
| want =)
