Michael in Indiana has asked us why we are not running on “forced redirect to SSL” and I honestly thought that our control panel provider cpanel was to do it for us.
Honestly, I think they’re right, giving us the choice on whether we want it or not. The bad news is that my testing shows that it now comes from my server’s IP when we receive forms now, protecting your IP which may not be a bad thing. I think though it is my provider making a change and not an SSL issue because of the fact that one site is not SSL protected yet.
Searching Google for SSL and redirecting web sites popped up this cpanel video which was very well described by the person who made it. I’ve turned on SSL redirect for MENVI, this site, jaredrimer.net and the mix so far.
Once I fix one of my other domains, I’ll be testing this to determine whether I can still utalize the domain for that purpose, or if I need to include other instructions.
I want to pass this along to people so they are made aware of this in case they don’t already.
Thanks Cpanel for giving us the opportunity on following guidelines that are best practices today. You guys are awesome!
