@sadiq1 best thing to do is hire someone with the right experience locally to help you set it up.

Had you started your own thread you would have been shown the form below. Answering the questions below would help give you specific advice.

There are many ways to get a certificate. Some hosting services even offer paid certificates as part of their package. And others offer free certs from Let's Encrypt or others. There are many ways.

To start learning about Let's Encrypt, see the docs and the Getting Started topic

===================================

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:

I ran this command:

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version):

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):

Apologies for jumping in on someone else's thread, that was a mistake.

I'm not very knowledgeable and a beginner with these sort of things. But I have filled out the fields as best as possible.

I am simply trying to link (web redirect) my newly purchased domain (travolar.co.uk) to this specific website page and URL - Travelor - Hotels Worldwide

My domain is: www.travolar.co.uk

My web server is (include version): No Server, as just the domain name was purchased and no hosting plan

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): No web server

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Not applicable. No Hosting provider.

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): I don't know

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): I don't know

Please help. This is getting a little stressful :frowning:

Then what do you expect to answer requests for travolar.co.uk and www.travolar.co.uk, and redirect them to https://www.travelor.com/?fid=74092? You need a web server for that. It can be your own, or it can belong to a hosting provider, but how did you expect this was going to work without one?

Hi @Sadiq1,

Using the online tool Let's Debug yields these results
https://letsdebug.net/travolar.co.uk/2054755?debug=y which has a redirect loop.

That's what I get for replying without checking. @Sadiq1, your domain already behaves exactly as you've said you want it to--when I browse to it (with or without the www prefix), it redirects to the travelor URL you mention. Were there other questions or concerns?

Right now I do not see the .co.uk domain redirecting for HTTPS. Only for HTTP

@Sadiq1 If you want HTTPS to redirect to your .com domain you will need some kind of web service with a cert to do that. I guess that is what you were asking about. And, maybe the best option is to talk with the hosting company you got the .co.uk domain from. That looks like one.com

You could setup some kind of server (Apache and nginx are common ones) anywhere really. Then, point the DNS for co.uk to where that is. That may be more advanced than what you were hoping.

I see your .com domain is hosted at wix. You might contact wix support and see if they offer something to redirect your co.uk to your .com

Is the different spelling of the domain name intentional? I don't mean .co.uk and .com. But, one is travelor and the other travolar.
