[BNM] SSL Certificates

[Ali]

As David said if they want they shall have it - I'm just checking on
opinions as I can see all these big sites allowing you to login and access
private pages via http only (all of them do) - the overhead of SSL is
obviously a concern at the mass populous level of website and maybe not so
much on a wee site like I am engaged in - that could explain their default
setting being not to use SSL.

Twitter does allow you to do everything over SSL though.
