• In the Domains section, click the Domains icon.

• This will open a page where you can toggle the HTTPS redirect on or off. We recommend leaving it on. If there is no option to enable HTTPS, it’s because that domain does not have SSL installed. First make sure SSL is installed and the option will present itself.

You may need to create a .htaccess file, and you can use your control panel’s File Manager.

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.
