Configuring HTTPS on your website
HTTPS is the protocol for the transmission of data using a cryptographic SSL connection. To configure it, you need to install a digital SSL certificate.
Preparing for installation of an SSL certificate
Before uploading the certificate, you need to:
1) Change the IP address that your domain points to and modify the settings of your subdomain.
2) Disable redirects http→https and www→without the www in case they were enabled.
