I was just looking for some generalized steps. Some of the links provided helped a bit with that.

Please tell me if I have things right here, or if I forgot anything.

Need static IP address
Determine what type of SSL is needed and purchase
Install, (or have it installed) on server
Set up a Redirect HTTP >> HTTPS (with 'Wildcard')

End result is any old links using HTTP will be redirected to New HTTPS secure page

Is that basically right?
