After your SSL certficate is installed on your Web Hosting account, there are some modifications you’ll need to make to your .htaccess file. Adding a few lines to your .htaccess file will automatically redirect your visitors to the HTTPS version of your website.
Note: These instructions don’t apply to WordPress installed on cPanel. For those steps, see Redirect my WordPress website to HTTPS for Web Hosting.
1. You can access your cPanel from your client Area > Services > My Services > Select your services and click on Active button > in Left side Actions > Login to cPanel button. This will automatically log you in the cPanel of your account using an encrypted connection.
2. Now find the File Manager in your cPanel account and click on file manager.
3. In the cPanel File Manager, click Settings.
4. Make sure that Show Hidden Files (dotfiles) is checked, and click Save.
5. Click on public_html, and open your .htaccess if you already have one. If not, click File+, name the file .htaccess and click Create New File.
6. Select the .htaccess file, and click Edit.
If you just created your .htaccess file, use the following code to set up the URL redirect to the HTTPS version of your website:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]If your .htaccess file already exists in your hosting account, do not duplicate ReWriteEngine On. Insert the lines that begin with ReWriteCond and RewriteRule directly after the already existing ReWriteEngine On.
Required: You need to replace example.com with your domain name for the sample code to work.
7. Click Save Changes and Close. That’s it!
When you visit your website, it will automatically redirect you to the HTTPS version.
We provide these instructions as a courtesy, but you may need to make other changes to get the redirect working if you already have a .htaccess file.
