WordPress has announcedfree HTTPS for all custom domains hosted on WordPress.com."The Let's Encrypt project gave us an efficient and automated way to provide SSL certificates for a large number of domains. We launched the first batch of certificates in January 2016 and immediately starting working with Let's Encrypt to make the process smoother for our massive and growing list of domains.For you, the users, that means you'll see secure encryption automatically deployed on every new site within minutes. We are closing the door to un-encrypted web traffic (HTTP) at every opportunity."
