What is the difference between SSL and TLS certificates?

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) both ensure a secure and encrypted connection between the browser and the server . SSL was the original technology but is no longer used today, as it has been replaced by the more modern TLS protocol. All current SSL certificates are based on TLS. The term "SSL" is still used out of habit, but you will receive the latest security technology for your website projects.

Can I completely redirect my existing traffic to HTTPS?

Yes, at world4you, you can easily redirect all your existing traffic to HTTPS. Once your SSL certificate is successfully installed, you can activate the automatic redirection from HTTP to HTTPS. Here's how to set up the HTTPS redirect: Make sure an SSL certificate is set up for your website . If not, you can do this through the customer area . Go to the customer area and navigate to Your Package > Domains > SSL/TLS . Scroll to the " Force HTTPS " section and activate the toggle switch, which currently says "HTTPS is not forced." The toggle switch will turn green, indicating "HTTPS is forced." From now on, your users will be automatically redirected to the HTTPS version of your website. For traffic redirection to HTTPS on multidomains, the toggle switch is grayed out, but you can set up the redirect manually using a .htaccess file in the target directory.

Can I use an SSL certificate from world4you on an external server?

Yes, if you have an active DomainOnly product , i.e., a domain without web hosting, this is possible. To do this, you need to download the SSL certificate from your customer area and upload it to your external provider.
