What is HSTS

HSTS is a mechanism that you can turn on for your website, and when someone visits your website, their browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) is automatically set to only display your website on HTTPS, the secure version, every time they visit your website.

It also follows that once you have HSTS enabled, you should have your site working properly on HTTPS, including a valid SSL certificate.

This mechanism can also be turned off in each browser for a specific domain. However, this must be done manually by each user for their browser, so it is only useful for your web development needs.

How to activate HSTS on your website

With our hosting, you simply activate HSTS in the Administration after you click on the domain. It is set up in the HTTPS setup dialog.
