We'd like our https Donate page to keep our actual domain name in the URL, rather than switching to https://username.nationbuilder.com.
Is this possible?

Update 11/21/17
Today, we started the process of upgrading all existing websites with custom domains to full site SSL so that every page on your site is encrypted. This process should be complete by the end of January and - beginning February 1st, 2018 - all new custom domains will automatically have SSL enabled.
As long as your custom domain is properly configured, you don’t need to do anything! This upgrade will be seamless, free, and any links on the internet to the non-SSL pages will automatically redirect.
Update 11/01/17
We are actively working on a solution to bring SSL to all customers. We do not have a date when this will be complete but we will update here as we know more about timeline and implementation.

You may have received an email from Google regarding marking your NationBuilder site as not secure when users are entering their information on forms in the future. Google is addressing the issue of web security with a goal of making the entire internet more secure and this is among their first steps.
We are aware of this change and do plan to update sites in the future, however we unfortunately cannot give a timeline at this moment.
Update 4/4/2017 (from Ben Handzo)
Our goal is to provide SSL certificates to all customers on custom domains as part of their plans. Currently anyone using a {slug}.nationbuilder.com url does have SSL across their whole site.
The cost to NationBuilder is not in the acquisition of individual SSL certificates, it's in the hosting of those many certificates in a way that also protects customers from DDOS attacks, and makes their websites' content fast to access across the globe. We are working with our partners to find a solution and will keep folks updated as we make progress.
Currently we're able to offer SSL certificates for custom domains as an organization addon. If you'd like SSL for your custom domain please contact your Account Manager or call 1-213-394-4623 to have a conversation with a sales person.

As of October 2017, using SSL on your custom domain will cost you USD$999/mo (http://nationbuilder.com/pricing, “Enterprise” level).
I’m guessing the GoDaddy price won’t factor much into that calculation.

NationBuilder uses CloudFlare and CloudFlare apparently offers SSL free of charge (https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/) – so I’m still trying to understand the issue of prohibitive. I’m by no means a CDN expert but would appreciate a bit more transparency. Thanks so much!

Seems like a good time to ask, again, what is NationBuilder doing to make HTTPS encryption available to all of its clients with custom domains?
Google has actually been planning to “out” unsecured sites since September of 2016 (never mind the fact that this suggestion is 4 years old):

Let me repeat: the industry has solved this problem. If NB can’t, they do not have the proper resources in place or they have such a pile of technical debt that it verges on negligence.
NB’s services are not cheap, and I hate feeling like I’m receiving sub-par service simply because I’m shopping within a niche market. Letting the company get this far behind the curve is an invitation to more agile startups to come in and take this market from you.
