If you have a secure certificate (SSL) on your website, you can automatically redirect visitors to the secured (HTTPS) version of your website
Linux-based accounts use .htaccess
files to handle redirection.
Using the following code in your .htaccess
file automatically redirects visitors to the HTTPS version of your site:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
If you have an existing .htaccess
file:
- Do not duplicate
RewriteEngine On
. - Make sure the lines beginning
RewriteCond
andRewriteRule
immediately follow the already-existingRewriteEngine On
.
