How to redirect from http:// to https://

Overview

If you add an add-on domain to mixhost or use the initial domain, you can access all of the following URLs by default.

Not SSL:

  • http://example.com
  • http://www.example.com

Using SSL:

  • https://example.com
  • https://www.example.com

If you want to unify to https://, please select from [A] to [D] below.

[A] Use the Really Simple SSL plugin (WordPress sites only)

In addition to redirecting from http to https, you can also fix internal links.

[D] Edit .htaccess

If you have complicated settings or if problems occur even if you set it from cPanel redirect, please edit .htaccess directly.
Please check here if .htaccess is not displayed in the file manager.
*Write the redirect description at the top of the .htaccess file.
*If you are not familiar with .htaccess, please use either [A][B][C] method.
*Detailed description method of .htaccess is not supported. Please note.
