Static IP for Your Router

Before you can get a TLS certificate, you will need:

• a static address for your router.
• a 'nice' domain name like 'tickets.yourvenue.org' that points to your firewall. These generally cost about $10 to $20 monthly in addition to your connection fees, unless you have a business internet package - in which case you probably get one included.

Obtaining a Static IP

The static IP must be obtained first and is supplied by your ISP. It will be set up in your firewall/router so that it never changes and means that customers will always be able to find you on the internet. These generally cost about $10 to $20 monthly in addition to your connection fees, unless you have a business internet package - in which case you probably get one included.

If you have a static IP and do not recall it, then open up a browser and type 'whatsmyip.org'. This asks a web site to tell you what the IP address of the outside of your router is. Alternately, you can enter the config mode for your router to determine the static IP address.
