As you may not know, all restdb.io databases can host a dynamic site on a custom domain (like this site).
We added a nice feature to enable secure (SSL/TSL) sites without any setup other than changing the IP your domain points to (technicality: change the "A" record).

We created this site as a demonstration and an example of how to create a dynamic site and blog using a restdb.io database and pages with HTML and server side HandlebarsJS tags. On each page of this site you can click the
View Source button in the downright corner and you will see the HTML and restdb.io HandlebarsJS-tags. You can view the "master template" source
here.
This site is a work in progress and we will gradually make it better to showcase how a web site is a natural extension of a database service such as

Restdb Pages lets you create any content from your database and deliver it on a custom route. However, sensitive content must be protected. That's why we made it simple to include user authentication in any Page. All you have to do is to add the #auth tag to the Page source code.
Check out the demos:
- Simple password protected page with just one user (hammer/pass)
- Advanced password protected page with users from a database Collection (guest/pass, jane/secret ...)
- Super secret server via HTTPS (guest/pass, jane/secret ...)
Dedicated servers can even have their own SSL certificate for your domain.
