If you are running your own Friendica site, you may want to use SSL (https) to encrypt communication between yourself and your server (communication between servers is encrypted anyway).
To do that, you have to obtain a certificate from a trusted organization (so-called self-signed certificates that are popular among geeks don’t work very well with Friendica, because they can cause disturbances in other people's browsers).
To do that on a domain of your own, you have to obtain a certificate from a trusted organization (so-called self-signed certificates that are popular among geeks don’t work very well with Friendica, because they can cause disturbances in other people's browsers).
If you are reading this document before actually installing Friendica, you might want to consider a very simple option: Go for a shared hosting account _without your own domain name_. That way, your address will be something like ``yourname.yourprovidersname.com```, which isn't very fancy compared to ``yourname.com``. But it will still be your very own site, and you will _usually_ be able to hitch a lift on your provider's SSL certificate. That means that you won't need to configure SSL at all - it will simply work out of the box.
