Apache to redirect http to https will make sure that your site (or a part of it) will only be reached by your customers using SSL.

Make sure your SSL document is properly installed so you can access https://www.yoursite.com (for more information see our Apache SSL Set up guidance)
Make sure mod_rewrite is allowed in Apache

Contact the hosting provider to complete the https process.

Thanks for sharing useful information about http and https.

Yeah, it is right that Google will be showing slightly more affinity towards https (secure) site domains compared to the http version.
For this, you can use this link: http://www.petri.com/configure_ssl_on_your_website_with_iis.htm
But it is not necessary to convert your site to https.

Contact server administrator to complete http https transfer.

The server should be contacted for changing from http to https. While your website is changed to https additional space is required in your server.

You should contact your web hosting provider

You can do this from control panel of your web hosting account. Each control panel has different option to set redirection for http to https. Best thing would be to contact your web hosting support team indeed.

Now you just need to edit your httpd.conf file or the file where your virtual host is specified and add these lines to redirect http to https:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
Now, when a visitor types http://www.yoursite.com/mypage.htm the server will automatically redirect http to https so that they go to https://www.yoursite.com/mypage.htm

Note: You can also redirect a single page from http to http in Apache by using this in your configuration file or .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^apache-redirect-http-to-https\.html$ https://www.yoursite.com/apache-redirect-http-to-https.html [R=301,L]
