Hi all! I have several domains (www.example.com, www.example.net, www.example.info). Only one of them has has installed SSL certificate. I would like to set up all the others( www.example.net, www.example.info) to redirect or be an alias to the main one (www.example.com). When I do that in cPanel i get a warning message in every browser: "This site is not secure." Do you have any ideas how I can resolve that? I would like all alias or redirects to work without displaying a security warning to the user. Thank you for your help! Best regards, Martin

  What's the redirect you're setting up specifically.

  I would like whenever people write: www.example.net to be redirected to www.example.com. Right now that doesn't work, because www.example.net doesn't have SSL certificate, so when one types it in the browser, a warning comes up that Your connection is not private

  Hi keat63, not sure what you mean (my knowledge on the topics isn"t that deep, yet). I contacted my hosting provider and they said I would need a wildcard certificate to cover the 2 domains. i believe there should be a more cost-effective option ;)

  I purchase my domain names through 123-reg, but I host my server elsewhere. 123-reg give me a control panel where I can modofy things like DNS and name servers etc. This also gives me the ability to handle rediects, or domain transfers to other people etc. If I put a redirect at this level, there would be no requirements for certificates.
