How To Enable SSL (HTTPS) for Your Website

Category: Web Applications

Website visitors are increasingly aware of secure data transfer, often looking for the green lock indicating a secure HTTPS connection. Here's how you can enable SSL and HTTPS for your website to ensure secure communication.

Step 1: Install SSL Certificate

First, access your hosting control panel and navigate to My Domains -> SSL Certificates. Here, you can either order an SSL certificate or request a free Let's Encrypt certificate.

Step 2: SSL Propagation

After installation, please allow up to one hour for the SSL IP to propagate across the web.

Step 3: Enable HTTPS via .htaccess

Next, go to Files -> File Manager in your hosting control panel. Navigate to your domain's root folder (e.g., /www/mydomain.com/). If no .htaccess file exists, create one.

Edit the .htaccess file and add the following code at the top:

            RewriteEngine On
            RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
        

Step 4: Save Changes

Once saved, your website will automatically redirect all traffic to the secure HTTPS protocol.
