If the web host let you have the FP extensions and SSL, then they should be willing to configure the
FP extensions to use SSL. Your other options are to use a 3rd Party service where your SSL
transaction is completed on their server or write a custom server-side scripting application to
process your form via SSL, etc., finally you could switch web host.
