: Ssl subdomain shows content of main site but does not redirect url (wildcard cert) I have a wildcard cert installed on my site *.pcgcp.ca which works beautifully, but when I go to my subdomain

@Kaufman445

Try this in the htaccess code file in your roots folder

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ yourdomain.com/ [R=302,L]


If that doesnt work then purchase a dedicated IP address from your hosting provider as hosting-only means you are using a shared IP address and therefore you are not allowed to use Wildcard SSL's or HTTPS'S. Sorry for the inconveniance.

As a hosting-only plan, it's unsurprising that your server is set to display the same content for all subdomains of a primary domain. You're paying for space to host a website, not multiple websites.

You could try some fancy .htaccess rewrite rules and return different content for different subdomains, but you may fall foul of your hosting contract if they notice, and that could leave you with zero websites.

Your safer bet is probably to contact your host and ask them to configure this for you (it would be at the Apache config level, below the level you can access) or set up a second hosting account for the second website.



On a side note, perhaps you could look into hosting your store as a subdirectory instead of a subdomain. This would allow everything in one hosting account, and give the SEO benefit of building up one website for search engines to crawl instead of splitting your resources.
