If you have a secure certificate (SSL) on your website, you can automatically redirect visitors to your website's secured (HTTPS) version.
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 and RewriteRule immediately follow the already-existing RewriteEngine On.
