Summary? Why is SSL not needed for the site? (could I MITM some JavaScript that does something bad?)

The domain is registered via an American provider, using a proxy service. This seems strange.

Sign up for the service, it's free. The service is served over SSL so there is little risk of MITM (that would require a Diginotar style hack). The marketing site does not require SSL. We are not collecting and you are not transmitting any information on the marketing site (except for Google Analytics). The domain is registered at GoDaddy. Yes, we are not big fans of GoDaddy, but it's a pain to move your domain registrations. The domain proxy service is standard when you don't want to receive a lot domain spam to your technical contact.
