When I was teaching, we had our own IT people and they would do things like that. However now it is up to me. I think what I am going to do is take my chances. I have Leuven templates and Wim implied that changing over to https, would cause problems for the templates. So I am going to wait and see what he comes up with. Hostmonster said that they could, for a fee, add the certificate and a static ip address, then after everything was in place, put a redirect in for me so if someone went to http, they would be sent to the https site.
So I am waiting.
