To set up a redirect to https you first need to be logged into the contol panel, then go to the file manager.
Then click on your website and then on the wwwroot folder.
Find a file called web.config and click on the draft block.
You can now make a redirect from https:// to https:// with the code below. The blue part should already be in your web.config, as this is the default config. To make it easy we have placed the default web.config below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<defaultDocument>
<files>
<clear />
<add value="Default.html" />
<add value="Default.htm" />
<add value="Default.asp" />
<add value="index.htm" />
<add value="Default.aspx" />
<add value="index.html" />
<add value="index.php" />
<add value="index.asp" />
</files&>
</defaultDocument>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^myhostingpartner.com$" />
