= I have multiple domain names that point to my web site - how to I make it so my preferred domain always appears in the browser address bar? =

Many of us have multiple domain names that point to the same web site. For example, you can access our web site by going to `example.org`, or `www.example.org`, or `www.example.net`, etc.

However, we want people to always see `example.org` in the address bar of the browser.

We do that by adding the following lines to the Web Config Settings in the [https://members.mayfirst.org/cp Members Control Panel] (click the Show Advanced Settings button to access the Settings field):

{{{
<If "req('Host') != 'example.org'">
    Redirect "/" "https://example.org/"
</If>
}}}

You can do the same by replacing `example.org` with the domain name you want your web site to display in the address bar of the browser. In this example, we are redirecting to an https site - be sure to enable https in the control panel if you are redirecting to an https site. Otherwise, redirect to http://example.org instead.

==  What if I want to force visitor of my website to use HTTPS?== 

In the Advanced section of the web congiration in the [https://members.mayfirst.org/cp members control panel], there is a checkbox called "Redirect http" - ensure it is configured to redirect http traffic to https. You must enable https for this redirect to work.
