This is a very common situation: you install your SSL certificate, but the browser still shows the annoying "Not secure" warning. That happens because the secure door is open, but the website is still allowing traffic through the old insecure route.
The fix is to force every visit to use HTTPS.
How to force HTTPS in DirectAdmin
If your Bacan plan uses DirectAdmin, this is usually the fastest option:
Open your panel and go to the account management area.
Open the SSL settings for the domain.
Enable the option called Force SSL with https redirect.
Save the changes.
From that moment on, any attempt to load
http://should jump automatically to the secure version.
How to force HTTPS in cPanel
If you manage your website through cPanel, the process is also simple:
Open the Domains section.
Find the domain you want to protect.
Locate the HTTPS Redirect column.
Switch it to On.
Advanced method: .htaccess
If you need more control, you can also redirect traffic by editing the .htaccess file in public_html and adding:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
