Forcing HTTPS + www or non-www
Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2018 6:05 am
Currently you have the ability to access the forum from:
http://www.trombonechat.com (www WITHOUT https)
https://www.trombonechat.com (www WITH https)
http://trombonechat.com (naked domain WITHOUT https)
https://trombonechat.com (naked domain WITH https)
It's good practice to force an HTTPS connection for security, and force the URL to use www or its naked domain (typically not both).
Personally I think that:
https://www.trombonechat.com
should be the URL that's redirected to, regardless of how someone types in/accesses the website. It looks like SiteGround is being used as the host (edit: maybe not?), they have documentation on how to do both of these things here and here.
Thoughts?
