Update DNS with SSL

Question

everytime I go to our current site www.example.com or example.com I would like it to redirect to https://www.example.com .. should I do this via DNS (if so how? do i add a new a name or cname record) or do I need to do this in the apache configurations?

Thanks

No, DNS doesn't handle this. Look at using htaccess for redirecting the user. — Anton Gildebrand, Apr 15 '13 at 12:50

Add this to your .htaccess file, in the folder you wish to redirect from.

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]
