Ok, I agree ... it should be https://matvaden.com/betatesters/ (I renamed it to '...testers' instead of '...testing') ... and that works fine! However, if someone removes the 's', it will also still work! So, what do you do, well you are supposed to be able to just add a redirect line to .htaccess to force the redirect. However, this only causes problems! There are two directories in my account that I want all communication with to be secure: '/cgi-bin/' & '/betatesters/' So here are the lines that I added to '/public_html/.htaccess': Redirect /cgi-bin/ https://mattvaden.com/cgi-bin/ Redirect /betatesters/ https://mattvaden.com/betatesters/ When I do this, it makes everything stop working! It is almost as if the Apache server is not performing the url rewrite properly ... maybe because of the SSL? Because, if I try to navigate to the https://matvaden.com/betatesters/ , the browser just gets hung ... and if I go into my FTP client while the browser is hung, edit the .htaccess, and the press save w/o actually changing anything, the save action to the .htaccess file cause my browser to "un-hang" itself, and the page finally loads properly. I know that I have used .htaccess files many times in the past, and it always seems to work ok. Please tell me what I am doing wrong here! This SSL cert cost em allot of money, and I need to be able to use it properly! I all know is, if I remove the redirect entries from .htaccess, it will work, but it will also work unsecurely. Someone PLEASE HELP ME ...

Its a "no-go" my friend ... Adding that line to /public_html/.htaccess doesn't change anything. What can we do now? Thanks for your assistance.

P.S. If you will go to the page, then type in the 's', you will see the security warning pop-up

Yes, but maybe I am doing something wrong ... Here is what I did. I placed a 'index.html' file in /public_html and I placed a slightly different one in /public_html/betatesting/ . Also in the /.../betatesting folder, I placed a .htaccess file with the following line: Redirect / https://betatesting.mattvaden.com However, it seems to be redirecting me to /public_html/index.html instead of remaining in the 'betatesting' folder. I can tell because I know which index page is which and the right one is not loading. The URL, however stays the same "https://betatesting.mattvaden.com" (except the 's' gets added in). So ... I have not done something right, obviously. If you want to look, you can view the page that should show up here: http://betatesting.mattvaden.com P.S. Don't forget the security warning part too ... Probably need to send a ticket to support about that? Thanks ...

Hello everyone! I recently purchased a SSL certificate for my domain. Now I would like to setup some specific configurations, if someone wouldn't mind jumping in from TCH here, that would be great! <sidebar> BTW, you guys @ TCH kick total a^%!! I purchased the SSL cert, and next thing I know the damn thing was installed, and DNS was resolved!! Very nice indeed! Rock Sign </sidebar> Anyway, here are my issues: Domain: betatesting.mattvaden.com 1) Setup the server so that ALL communication with this sub domain is processed through SSL. E.g. if someone types http://betatesting... it would be redirected to https://betatesting... 2) It is currently possible for me to append the 's' to 'http://' (by just typing it in manually), when I do this, I receive a "security alert" stating that "The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site" The user is required to click yes / no / view certificate. How do we make this go away? In other words, I want this subdomain to work the same way paypal.com does. No matter how you try to access their domain, you are redirected to a secure connection (w/o any security alerts ). This is what I need here. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Regards, -Matt V

Thank you!!

Thank you sir! It has been done! Rock Sign

Well, here is the quote from: http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/web-hosting-ssl.html Do I just call to request? Thanks.

I am sorry but stupid is kicking me in the face, momentarily ... is there a "purchase" link available? Thanks for your help.

Hello, is it possible to purchase a SSL cert for a virtual hosting account? Or do I need to purchase a resller account? A reseller account does not seem cost effective for me at this point, so I am wondering about my options. Thanks for your help and time.
