That's one of the current difficulty bottlenecks. Both getting a domain name
and also an TLS certificate. For those of us in category 0 that process
is not tremendously hard, but I expect it will be impossible for
category 4 and maybe possible for category 3 if there is very specific
documentation about what commands to run, what to click on in what sequence, 
etc.
