To redirect all website requests to the domain with the www prefix and enforce https at all times, follow these steps:

1. Access the main directory of your website (public_html), then edit the .htaccess file and add the following settings:

Force the domain to use www:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]

Force the domain to use https:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]

Force the domain to use both www and https:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]

After finishing, save the changes.

Note: If the .htaccess file doesn’t exist, you can create a new one inside the public_html directory, add the settings above, and save the file.
