 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).

+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.
