Ask HN: Fully managed blogging platform w/ support for SSL/TLS & custom domain?

by tosh·13y ago·1 comments·view on hn ↗
Hello dear HN fellows. I'm looking for a blogging platform that lets me use a custom domain and serve the blog over SSL/TLS. As far as I understand none of the major platforms support this :/

  * Wordpress.com (custom domain, no SSL)
  * Tumblr (custom domain, no SSL)
  * SquareSpace (custom domain, SSL only on store/checkout pages)
  * Blogger (custom domain, no SSL)
  * Medium (no custom domain, SSL)
Did I miss something? Is DIY the only way right now? I'm willing to pay, but there is no one to take my money?

They would have to host your SSL certificate, and that may require a static IP address. Probably difficult for them to scale and keep profitable. You can do it on WPEngine though:
