Resolved was https hosting, changed to forwarding, cert issue

[TomBoB]

Hi all,

domain was hosted, used https with lets encrypt cert.
owner did management contract with other company. They ask to redirect the domain to their site.

After i switched hosting type from hosting to forwarding and visit the domain (using https), instead of forwarding, it shows as certificate error. [Which does make sense as the proper domain cert isn't available anymore, it now reverts to the servers own security cert.]

How to overcome this issue?

cheers,
Tom

hi,

it appears forwarding/masking of domains just isn't compatible with https.

have in the meantime reverted to:

re-enabled hosting, and created an .htaccess file with

Redirect 301 / http://new-management-company.com

Works a treat

cheers,
Tom
