It is http. OK so when Network solutions is asking me to secure your website blah blah and buy a SSL Certificate from Network Solutions that is what I need to do to make this work?

You need to have a valid certificate for HTTPS to work automatically for all clients (and some can't even be made to accept an invalid certificate manually). There's no way for a site to tell the client "no this certificate is valid" - or bad sites would just do that and malware would be even worse. You'll have to get a valid certificate for the site and configure the netsol host to use it. This is a great application for a free Let's Encrypt cert instead of a paid certificate (which I'm almost certain Network Solutions would be happy to sell you otherwise). You may be better off looking for a different host that does LE out of the box and just leaving DNS with netsol if they don't offer LE today.
