<p><strong>HTTP</strong> means&nbsp;<strong>HyperText Transfer Protocol</strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>HTTPS</strong> means&nbsp;<strong>HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure</strong>.</p> <p>It is however just a secure layer over the transfer protocol.</p> <p>It requires a SSL certificate, which in some cases costs money and in others are free, depending on your needs.</p> <p>If you just need it in order to just have some kind of certificate, I could recommend using <a href="https://www.cloudflare.com/">Cloudflare</a>'s free membership, that can be setup to use their SSL certificate, and then you can have HTTPS instead of HTTP for free without doing much.</p> <p>However if you prefer having your own you need to setup the certificate yourself, I however recommend using Forge for this since it makes it so much easier.</p> <p>There you can even enter your own certificate that you bought or signup for a free one by <a href="https://letsencrypt.org/">Let's Encrypt</a>.</p>
