     Linux & cPanel

    
     
  
  
  
  

 

Linux-based accounts use .htaccess files to handle redirection.

If you need to create a .htaccess file, you can use your control panel's file manager (Web & Classic / cPanel).

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]

    Windows & Plesk

    
    Windows-based accounts use web.config files to handle redirection.
    
    Using the following code in your web.config file automatically redirects visitors to the HTTPS version of your site
  
  
  
  

 

 

     <configuration>
       <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
        <rules>
	<rule name="HTTP to HTTPS redirect" stopProcessing="true"> 
	<match url="(.*)" /> 
	<conditions> 
		<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
	</conditions> 
	<action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" />
       </rule>   
       </rules>
      </rewrite>
     </system.webServer>
     </configuration>

If you have an existing web.config file:

 

• 
  
  
  
  • Ensure you have sections (i.e. opening and closing tags) for:
    
    
    
    • 
      
      
      
      • System.webServer (which contains rewrite)
      
      
      
      
    
    
    
     
    
    
    
    • 
      
      
      
      • rewrite (which contains rules)
      
      
      
      
    
    
    
     
    
    
    
    • 
      
      
      
      • rules (which contains one or more rule sections)
      
      
      
      
    
    
    
     
    
    Insert any of those sections that do not exist.
  
  
  
  

 

• 
  
  
  
  • Insert the entire rule section, including match, conditions, and action, inside the rules section
