Set up of paid SSL certificates using the WY Panel
An SSL certificate is a prerequisite for running a website at an address starting with https://. Its purchase and installation are simple and automated in the WY system. For an operational site, we recommend sending the order using the WY Panel. You will receive a confirmation email after your payment is credited. Once confirmed, the SSL certificate is created. Finally, just load the website using https. If loaded without problems, everything should be ready.
Set up of a free Lets Encrypt SSL certificate using the WY Panel
If a free SSL certificate is enough for you, you can activate the Lets Encrypt certificate using the WY Panel under Domains, SSL Certificates section. Just select the Lets Encrypt certificate. If you would like to activate it in bulk for all subdomains at once, use the Lets Encrypt wildcart certificate.
Change URL and redirect to https
If you use CMS, you will need to change the URL address from http to https.
In WordPress, you need to change the page address in two fields to https://www.yourdomain.my, or https://yourdomain.my if you haven’t used www in front of the domain.
To redirect all URLs from your site to a secure https protocol, you need to redirect the original URL addresses to the new ones. To do this, you can use RewriteRule in the .htaccess file, which you can access by logging into FTP.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =http
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
This command is intended to redirect all http queries to https. In addition to redirecting the user, it gives a signal to search engines about a change to the URL and retrieves all resources (images, css and js) from the secured URLs .
If the words FTP and .htaccess don’t mean anything to you, you can make everything easier with the WY Panel in the Domains – SSL certificates section. If you have an SSL certificate active on your domain or subdomain, just check the redirect below and click on save.
After completing the steps described above, it can be said that in terms of the functioning of the website you are ready.
