Question

I’m building a website in ASP.NET, and I want it to have users so I’m creating a login page, database, aspx pages, etc, etc.

But I also want to implement SSL for extra security later on, but I don’t know have the slightest idea if that will be a difficult or annoying, I have never implemented SSL for a website. So I’m wondering, is it “easy” or “hard” to apply SSL to my website after it’s already built?

Do I have to build my website with SSL in mind from the start, or can I learn about it afterwards and then apply it?

Answer 1

Yes, you can easily add it to an existing site. Just obtain the certificate, set it up in IIS and you are good to go:
