Next month Google Search will integrate AMP pages. These are pages that are designed to work rapidly on mobile devices even when using a poor network connection.

Should I host these AMP pages on a HTTP or HTTPS URL?

We all know that Google is supposed to give minor ranking boosts for secure websites but then again, these pages are minimal and HTTPS uses a little more server-load than that of a HTTPS request. What are your thoughts?

AMP does not required HTTPS, unless you have to using form tag in your HTML(For example you are using ASP.NET Web Form).

So, About using HTTPS or HTTP with AMP, If you are using form tag in your HTML ,Your answer is Yes! You must host AMP pages on HTTPS URLs.

Otherwise your answer is No.

These are really two separate questions: if you're thinking of implementing AMP, that shouldn't affect your choice between HTTP and HTTPS in any way.

So you have two choices to make: "do you want to implement AMP?" (and it sounds like you do); and "do you want to go HTTPS?", for which I've written an answer here.
