How to redirect visitors to SSL connections

The usage of WebHost Manager (WHM) packages is covered in this article. WHM employs packages, which are sets of preconfigured settings, when you establish an account. As a reseller, you may design “Basic” and “Premium” bundles, for instance. While the “Premium” package has higher restrictions, the “Basic” package may have comparatively smaller disk space and bandwidth transfer quotas.

This article assumes that you already have a valid, functioning SSL certificate on your web site. Table of Contents

Redirecting users to SSL-enabled connections

You may want to ensure that visitors to your web site always use a secure connection. To do this, you can use rewrite rules in a custom .htaccess file.

Instead, you can enforce SSL-enabled connections from the WordPress administrative dashboard if you are using WordPress. To learn how to accomplish this, please refer to this page.

If you use the rewrite rules in an .htaccess file in the web site’s root directory, all requests will be redirected to HTTPS connections. Alternatively, you can modify the rewrite rules in a specific directory’s .htaccess file to limit redirection to files in that directory.

Add the following lines to the desired .htaccess file to redirect users from a non-secure URL (http://) to a secure URL (https://). 

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