I am very happy to report my web site is now "SAFE". Also my web site email now works (no thanks to Ipage). I FINALLY got to Instant Chat by doing the following: I went to the Financial Section, changed from automatic billing, and deleted my Credit Card on file with them. Their site kept warning me I needed to insert valid credit card number information. I kept ignoring the warning, and it must have triggered an "INSTANT CHAT" window. I have been trying to get access to this feature forever. It must have rung a bell with them that I was going to hit them in the wallet. I told my frustration about the SSL problem that I paid for, and made my site unsafe. I was chatting with a Financial Person, but they said if I held on for several minutes they would consult with a Tech Person. I did hold, and when he came back he said it should be fixed within 0 to 9 hours. About 9 or 10 hours later my web site was secure with no warnings. I fixed my email almost by accident. While trying to fix it I tried logging in to Ipower (the old hosting company before they sold it to Ipage) and noticed an alternate log in to "Roundcube". When I hit this it took me to a log in page to my old email. I gave my password and it took me to my old website email (BUT VERY DIFFERENT interface).
I now pay $112.35 for Domain Validated SSL per year. My Web Site cost is $594.67 for two years, due again Feb 22 2026. Is this high, low or average in your opinion? My web site is plain vanilla. No music, or slide shows, and no ability to order and pay for prints.
Thank you all for your help.
