HTTPS and Domain Parking SSL<\/h2>

A browser must establish a secure connection to the original hostname before it can receive an HTTPS redirect. Domain Parking SSL is an optional add-on that protects the parked website and forwarding and is normally provisioned automatically within a few minutes of purchase.<\/p>
