<p>I wouldn't yell at you. But I would gently encourage you that if
you would like some help getting into a more modern system....
there are folks on this list you can reach out to!<br>

<p>I think I understand you saying that you want the website to
automatically redirect visitors to visit your https-enabled site,
yes? <br>
</p>
<p>Simply having the certificate does not handle the way your
website responds. You must instruct the site to load https,
which is usually something you can set within your CMS (ie:
Wordpress or similar). If you're not using a CMS, or your CMS
doesn't have support for that, you can use .htaccess. In that
case, something like this may help you:<br>
