If you are using our hosted restaurant website solution, and would like to install an SSL certificate onto your domain, there are several things you need to know and carry out.

Secure connections require a dedicated IP address. We can provide you with a dedicated IP for $3 per month, amounting to $36 per year. This must be paid upfront, since SSL certificates are also issued on an annual basis.
