How do I set it up so people come to my https website, not the http version?

Question

I set up my website as http, but have improved the security to https - problem is, the search engines still link to the http version.

How do i get it so that if someone were to go to my http website, they would get moved to the https version?

the website is www.easy-bingo.co.uk if anyone has any other tips they would want to throw my way!

Any help would be much appreciated.

if you are running apache, you can use the answer given in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10489895/http-to-https-through-htaccess — miah, Apr 11 '13 at 20:05
What's the web server you're using? You should be able to forward the http requests to https there. — rivarolle, Apr 11 '13 at 20:05

This could be done with the .htaccess file by adding some rewrite rules, see post: htaccess redirect to https://www

I am not sure how this will affect search engines though.

thanks guys, i think my basic mistake was setting up as a windows server as opposed to linux - i switched it and the software is now part of the tools that do it automatically anyway... no idea why i went with windows in the first place - call it ignorance.
