Create 301 Redirects on New Server

[LucaMilan]

Hi, I'm currently moving a website "http://site1" from another server (win2008r2, w/Plesk) to a new cPanel centos based server (dedicated).
The problem is that on the old server there is an ecommerce website with a SSL certificates "https://ecommerce".
When I digit https://ecommerce or http://site1 everything works right. But when I digit https://site1 the certificates pop-up is show and it redirect users to https://ecommerce, everything without any error.
This is due because old server has only one IP address shared and is not possible to limit the certificate to one website only.

BUT now I've brought a new server, and moved the http://site1 to this new one. But I cannot create 301 redirects to be graceful to google index (yes, google grab more then 100 wrong urls).
Now if a link to https://site1 there is not redirect to old server, but I've got a 404 error and google will penalize me.

Is there a way to create a "global htacces" to redirect traffic to the homepage?

Please, help me and forgive my bad english...

Hello,

Have you considered simply installing a separate certificate for each domain name? cPanel offers free cPanel-signed SSL certificates as part of the AutoSSL feature:

Manage AutoSSL - Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Thank you.

Thank you cPanelMichael, but I haven't AutoSSL on my WHM and it is not a feature available

Hello,

It's not a feature within cPanel, but rather it's found in Web Host Manager:

"WHM Home >> SSL/TLS >> Manage AutoSSL"

Are you sure you have root access to the dedicated server, or do you only have reseller access?

Thanks!

Thank you Michael,
I have a WHM access as root (I suppose ), but no "Manage AutoSSL" option...

Hello,

Ensure you are logging in with the "root" username to Web Host Manager. Otherwise, if you are reseller, you can install a new certificate for "site1' via the instructions at:

Generate an SSL Certificate and Signing Request - Documentation - cPanel Documentation
Install an SSL Certificate on a Domain - Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Or, as a reseller, you can contact your web hosting provider to see your SSL certificate options.

Thank you.

How I solved:

The only solution I found is to create a Let's Encrypt certificate over http://site so now I've not errors on Google Search Console, beacause https://site works and it is approved by clients.

To create the Let's Encrypt certificate I used this tutorial: [How-To] Installing SSL from Let's Encrypt

Thank you.

The manual workaround instructions in that thread are no longer required, as the official Let's Encrypt plugin was introduced in cPanel version 58:
