In today's online world, it's becoming increasingly important to keep your data safe** and your users' data safe. In order to strengthen security and ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data transmission, many choose to switch from the insecure HTTP protocol to the more secure HTTPS protocol. This topic describes how to change from HTTP to HTTPS to help you improve your security.
1. Obtain an SSL certificate.
The HTTPS protocol requires an SSL certificate to be installed, so you need to obtain a valid SSL certificate first. Most** require a paid SSL certificate because it provides a higher level of security and trust. These certificates are issued by trusted third-party authorities and provide additional functionality and assurance.
2. Configure the server.
Once you have obtained an SSL certificate, the next step is to configure the HTTPS settings on your server. The specific steps are as follows:
1.Install the certificate: Upload the certificate file and private key file to the server based on the type of server you are using. These documents usually come in the form of: pem、.CRT or. key is a suffix.
2.Update server configuration: Depending on your server type and software (such as Apache, Nginx, etc.), you need to modify the configuration file to enable HTTPS. You need to specify the path of the certificate and private key, and set other relevant options, such as encryption protocols, etc.
3.Configure redirects: To ensure that users always access you** over https, you need to configure redirects. Redirect all HTTP requests to the corresponding https by modifying the server configuration file.
3. Changes and Links.
Once you've done the above configuration, you'll need to update the links on and make sure they point to https.
