SSL certificate

Unfortunately, there isn't any option if you can't have SSL work on your site at all.

Some hosting companies do have a shared SSL site that you can use. For example, if your domain is www.mydomain.com hosted by the company Blah Blah, they may have a secure domain for you at:

mydomain.blahblah.com/

Check with them if there is a shared SSL site you can use for your domain. If so, then what you can do is create another Facebook Application and point the Page Tab to a specific page on the secure domain. That can be a specific article on your site with your newsletter signup. You will *not* be able to take advantage of some specific JFBConnect features like a custom Page Tab canvas or even Facebook authentication, since the domain won't be right.. but you can have links to your 'real' page on the newsletter signup page.

I hope that makes sense, but if not, start by letting me know if there's any SSL way to connect to your site and we can go from there.

Unfortunately, the SSL requirement is from Facebook and there's not much else we can do about that.

Thanks,
Alex

There's plenty of hosts out there that support SSL, either in a dedicated fashion or through a shared SSL certificate. We even have a few recommendations on our Service Partners listing.

I only need a redirect page, so then we can manage everything in my site, what do you think about it?

A redirect from the SSL Page Tab home page may work, but it's best if your whole site is loaded through SSL when in a Page Tab to ensure it continues to work in case Facebook makes changes to their requirements.

By the way, are we sure there is not a facebook app that already allow to create tabs in fan pages? I saw this app HTML static iFrame tab. Maybe it cannot became the landing page (or maybe yes) but it seems it would work to create a call to action on the web site. What do you think?

A Facebook Application is what you need to create a tab in a Fan Page. You create the Application and then point the Page Tab URL to your site. There are plenty of other apps that you can also add to your page that may do what you want as well. JFBConnect is just one way to integration into your Facebook Page, but there are others.

I hope that helps,
Alex
