How can I redirect to https from http?

I have a website hosted in godaddy and purchased SSL (https) support for one year. when I add custom https with my pages it works fine. How can I redirect or set by default when I access my site to go with https?

for example someone type, http://www.test.com to go with https://www.test.com
