| Feb 16, 2021 at 1:53 | comment | added | Trebor | @StephenOstermiller, yes they did charge me for the forwarding. But it was a short term solution while I migrated my hosting to another domain. I wasn't aware of the SSL issue, as at the time, I wasn't using SSL. Thanks for the homework. | |
| Feb 15, 2021 at 17:08 | comment | added | Stephen Ostermiller♦ | @Trebor this article says that network solutions charges $12 per year for domain forwarding and doesn't support SSL. It could have changed recently, but Network Solutions tends to charge high prices and not reduce prices based on competition. In my experience they milk their reputation of being the first domain registrar. | |

| Feb 13, 2021 at 22:44 | comment | added | Matt Nordhoff | "I've also never seen a registrar offer redirects that support HTTPS." It's starting to happen because Google's HSTS preloaded TLDs necessitate it. E.g. Google Domains and Porkbun support it. | |
