The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

After SSL certificate is installed on my site, how do I make it so all visitors will always see https, not http?

Asked by tgritter in E-Commerce Security, Encryption for Network Security, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) & HTTPS

Tags: ssl, certificate, how, my

I have recently purchased an SSL certificate for my website from Network Solutions. I also host the site with them, so they have installed the certificate for me. It seems to be working fine -- if I go to my site using https instead of http, I see the little padlock icon which shows that my site is secure. However, I am also still able to access my site by using http, and then the padlock icon does not appear.

So... here is my question: how do I make sure all visitors who come to my site will see https and the padlock icon? Is there something I must do to make that happen? Is this a matter of setting some kind of special properties or permissions on individual site files or directories?

In answering, please keep in mind that I am hosting with Network Solutions, so I don't have too much direct control over the web server. As part of my hosting package, they give me a hosting control panel with a file manager and some other tools for managing my site, but I'm not very sophisticated about using those. I originally created and published the site using Dreamweaver, which I am still using to update the content (connecting to Network Solutions' server via Dreamweaver FTP).

In other words, I am not very knowledgeable about web server admin/configuration. I do know that my site is hosted on an NT server, but that's about the extent of my server-related knowledge, so please dumb down your answer accordingly. Thanks for your patience with my stoopidity.
