What do http, https and both mean

HTTP is an unencrypted web connection, HTTPS uses a certificate and encryption, and both allows visitors to use either protocol if configuration permits.

Reviewed:

The protocol is how visitors enter

When configuring a website, the protocol says whether it is reached through http://, https:// or both.

https:// is recommended for modern websites because it encrypts the connection and avoids security warnings.

Basic differences

  • http: unencrypted connection;
  • https: encrypted connection with a certificate;
  • both: allows HTTP and HTTPS.

If you choose HTTPS, you need a valid certificate for the website name.

At PRIMARI.NET

In Web hosting, the Protocol field can use values such as http, https or both.

If you want HTTPS, also review Certificates. If there is no certificate or it does not match the name, the browser may show errors.

When to contact PRIMARI.NET

Contact PRIMARI.NET if you are unsure which protocol to choose, want to force HTTPS or see browser warnings when opening the website.
