https - Why should i use ssl? -


i'm running dating site , not using ssl @ moment.

i've noticed major sites facebook , twitter not use https login use plain old http, there advantage https-ing site or cc transactions or ?

thanks in advance.

actually, facebook does use https login:

<form method="post" action="https://login.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1" id="login_form"> 

as twitter:

<form method="post" id="signin" action="https://twitter.com/sessions"> 

you'll notice don't use https page displays signin form. that's because isn't necessary.

however, it's idea use ssl login if can, if because many users employ same password sites.

one solution, i'd see more sites employ, using openid/oauth login instead of requiring username/password.
