HTTPS Everywhere

Every link secure. No exceptions.

Your main site isn't the only door into your business - old domains, redirects, and links from years ago all need HTTPS too. Redirect Supply makes sure every single one of them is.

Problem

The Problem

Your main website probably has HTTPS. But it usually isn't the only way people reach you - old domains, retired campaigns, print materials with http:// links, forgotten subdomains, and redirects set up years ago all still get clicked.

Any one of them serving plain HTTP is a visible warning to visitors, and an inconsistent signal to search engines, even if your primary site is fully secure.

What can go wrong:

  • Old print materials and QR codes still point to http:// links

  • Forgotten subdomains or parked domains serve insecurely

  • Redirect chains drop HTTPS partway through

  • One insecure entry point undermines trust in the whole brand

Solution

The Fix

Every domain and redirect you connect to Redirect Supply gets HTTPS automatically - not just your primary site. Old domains, retired campaigns, and forgotten subdomains all get the same certificate coverage as your main URL, with no separate setup step.

One inventory, one pass through Redirect Supply, and every entry point into your business is secure - including the ones you haven't thought about in years.

Do it in this order:

  1. Inventory every domain, subdomain, and redirect you currently manage

  2. Check each one for plain HTTP or expired certificates

  3. Point any insecure ones at Redirect Supply

  4. Let automatic HTTPS issue certificates across all of them

  5. Test old or printed http:// links to confirm they upgrade

  6. Set a recurring reminder to audit new domains as they're added

Success

What success looks like

Done right, there's no such thing as an insecure entry point into your business - a five-year-old business card, an old campaign domain, and your homepage all resolve securely, every time.

No mismatched trust signals, no "not secure" warnings from a forgotten corner of your domain portfolio, no manual certificate renewals to track.

What you get:

  • Every connected domain gets HTTPS automatically, no exceptions

  • Old and forgotten domains are just as secure as your main site

  • Certificates renew on their own - nothing to track manually

  • HTTP links upgrade to HTTPS instead of showing warnings

  • Consistent security signals across your entire domain portfolio

  • One dashboard to confirm everything is covered

The big picture

Your security is only as strong as your weakest link

Most companies secure the site people see every day and forget the domains people only stumble onto - but visitors and search engines don't grade on which one you remembered.

A business accumulates entry points faster than it retires them - old campaign domains, acquired brands, defensive registrations, redirects set up for a launch three years ago. Each one is still technically live, and each one is a chance for someone to hit a "not secure" warning.

Fixing the main site is the easy part; most platforms handle that by default now. The gap is everything adjacent to it - the domains and redirects configured once, years ago, by whoever was around at the time, and never touched again.

Redirect Supply treats HTTPS as something that should apply to everything you connect, not just the domain you think of as "the website." Add a domain, get a certificate - automatically, permanently, without depending on someone remembering to renew it.

FAQs

Everything you might ask about HTTPS everywhere

Do I need to secure domains I barely use?

Yes - an insecure domain is still a visible warning to anyone who clicks it, however rarely that happens.

What happens to old http:// links in printed materials?

They upgrade to HTTPS automatically the moment they hit a domain connected to Redirect Supply.

Do I need separate certificates for each domain?

No - every connected domain gets its own certificate automatically, at no extra step.

How do I find domains I might have forgotten about?

Start with your registrar account and DNS provider - anything listed there is worth checking and connecting.

Does this cover subdomains too?

Yes - any subdomain you connect gets the same automatic HTTPS coverage as a root domain.

What if a domain's certificate is about to expire elsewhere?

Point it at Redirect Supply and it's covered going forward - no manual renewal required.
