My website on https opens some other website

  • Hi,

    I am using shared hosting of a hosting company. My domain registrar is godaddy. My website is lahoregardening.com now my website when opened with https opens up some other website. I contacted my hosting company and they said that this is due to lack of SSL certificate which is very strange. I had always thought that lack of SSL means a website is not available on https address, but how come another website be linked to my domain address. Any hints to resolve this issue?

    PS: I do not have a dedicated IP address.

    Regards,
    Khabbab

  • You shouldn’t get a different website unless your webserver is miss configured.

    when you configure a webserver http and https are actually two completely different sites to be configured. usually you configure theme both to show the same content (folder) unless otherwise required.

    Usually when you don’t have a ssl cert, you configure the https site to show a 404 i.e. the ssl site doesn’t exist..

    I just looked at both sites.. http and https and their the same site, but some of the content (stylesheets, js) has dropped out so they do look differently but the content is the same.

    This could have been what your hosting company meant but didn’t explain clearly, i.e. some of the content isn’t loading properly because there is not ssl certificate.
