Google has announced that implementation of TLS (SSL) certificates benefit the web site owners and can boost SEO ranking of your website. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the predecessor to Transport Layer Security (TLS). It is a misnomer that people call SSL and TLS are interchangeable.

Redirect Domain to Include or Exclude www
This guide is based on the .htaccess file which is a directory-level configuration file supported by several web servers such as Apache web server.
