RSS links switch back to BITSUM.COM

Posted on 08:25 by Unknown
Using a reverse proxy type with a single line of PHP, I have switched our RSS feeds all to BITSUM.COM. The BITSUM.NET reference feeds still work fine as well. This was important for search and indexing, where I want news feeds about Bitsum.com to be related to Bitsum.com. As always, they are listed here:

http://bitsum.com/rsslinks.php

Try not refresh them too often, I like to edit my posts several hundred times after first making them ;p.

I could move the entire Forum to bitsum.com this way, while keeping it isolated, and allow use of our SSL certificate. I am considering doing just that, but I have wasted a lot of time on this issue and so am going to wait. I want to make sure I've got everything considered. The Forum must be isolated, that's all there is too it. I have to assume that it will be hacked, even if it never is. That's one more barrier to protect customer data (note we keep very little info, no credit cards or other billing stuff.. in fact, we don't even ever get access to your billing info).

Why very few Forums on the internet use SSL I don't know. Honestly, I am of the belief every site should use it all the time -- except for the cost (which may answer my question). It is not only costly, but quite the documentation hassle. The cost is why I have a 'non-wildcard' certificate that only works for 'bitsum.com' (e.g. not 'www.bitsum.com').
