en.Wedoany.com Reported - French operator Free's personal homepage service (Pages Perso Free) has completed a full transition from HTTP to HTTPS. This long-standing free hosting service now displays a valid security certificate in browsers.

After 27 years online, one of Free's oldest services finally gets an upgrade

For a long time, the service remained on the HTTP protocol, becoming a notable anomaly on the modern web that drew user attention. As major browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Safari mark HTTP websites as "Not Secure," this could cause visitor concerns and affect the credibility of hosted pages. The HTTPS protocol encrypts communication between browsers and servers and has now become the standard for network connections. With this migration, users can see a secure padlock icon and encrypted connection indicator in their browsers when accessing personal homepages.

This service is one of the oldest launched by Free since its inception in 1999, primarily used for free hosting of personal, association, or family websites. Although as of early 2024, Free no longer allows non-subscribers to create Free email accounts or personal homepages for free, these services remain available to active Freebox users. Users can manage their accounts through the Freebox user space, and the operator also provides a dedicated page called "Free Access Account (Compte accès libre)" supporting password recovery, mailing address modification, or requests to delete personal homepages.
