How do I redirect traffic to my SSL secured site?


For Linux Packages
You should first have an SSL certificate installed on your domain.
You will need to either create a .htaccess file in the root of your webspace or if you already have one, edit the file. Take a look at the example below for reference.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*\.)*yourdomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R]   


A few notes
arrow image You must add the line RewriteEngine On to enable rewrite rules. Do not add this line a second time if it is already present in the .htaccess file.
arrow image Replace yourdomain.com in red above with your own domain.
arrow image The last line must contain the correct domain or subdomain that is used with the SSL. This may be yourdomain.com, www.yourdomain.com or subdomain.yourdomain.com.

To find out the correct domain or subdomain that is using the SSL, log into your 1&1 Control Panel and select Domains -> Dedicated SSL Certificate.

For MS Packages
You should first have an SSL certificate installed on your domain.
Write a redirect script, that redirects all requests to your website to https://


<%EnableSessionState=False
host = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST")

if host = "yourdomain.com" or host = "www.yourdomain.com" then
response.redirect("https://www.yourdomain.com/index.html")

else
response.redirect("https://www.yourdomain.com/error.htm")

end if
%>   


This script needs to be named default.asp and placed in the folder your domain is pointing to.
