In this guide we will show you two ways to force traffic from http to https (secure connection).

Before you do this change, make sure your domain is setup with https/ssl for this to work. You can follow this guide to get a free SSL certificate for your domain.

1. With .htaccess rewrite rules:
   
   
   1. You need to create or edit the file .htaccess located in your public_html directory. Add the following lines to the file:
      
      

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

   2. Save or upload the file and all traffic will now be forced to use https.
      
      
      
2. From the client area:

   2. Click on the "Services" button:
      
   3. Click on the green "Active" button behind the service you like to change:

   5.  Click on the "edit" button behind your domain name:
      
      
   6. Change the "Force SSL with https redirect" to be switched on and click the "Change" button:
