2024-07-27 08:13:55 GMT, FreeToastHost System Warning] *** IMPORTANT! ***

Hello FTH Support and Fellow Toastmasters,

Lucille Shaw here. I'm the site Admin of my club, Expressions Unlimited Toastmasters. When I logged in to our website as an Admin, I saw the system-generated alert pasted below in red. Is this a legitimate warning? Our website is working, and our domain registration is active and current. Some of the links referenced look suspicious.

Thank you for your help.

Yes, it is legitimate - the certificates are regularly renewed for custom domains linked to FreeToastHost sites.  There was a timeout issue with yours, but I've run it again and all went well this time:

• SSL Cert Created/Renewed for ( carlsbadtoastmasters.com )

No further action required.
 

Thank you for the quick reply, Pam. I appreciate it very much. Have a wonderful weekend!

Kind regards,
