I've been looking at startssl but CloudFlare looks interesting. If they could host this forum for me for free that would make things pretty easy for me. I don't see anywhere on their site support for MySQL however.

Cloudflare sort of like a middleman/proxy with can include ssl on their side, User (https) <-> Cloudflare (https) <-> Website (http). Which is what I use for secure.fanboy.co.nz. Though it might be easier just to get a free ssl cert via startssl, just needs to be renewed every year.

Okay I'm starting to understand that. I've enabled CloudFlare for this site for now and we'll see how it goes. I can always get a certificate and add it if need be.

Might want to check the SSL, since it seems to reject it..

It takes about 24 hrs for the SSL to kick in and StartSSL is under maintenance. Once its back up I'll get a cert as IMO it can't hurt. And if CloudFlare comes through that's even better.
