Hey there @smsafkat 

If you're on cPanel Linux Hosting, give this a shot:

1. Set the base url for both secure and unsecure in the backend (System > Configuration > General > Web). Set yes in "use secure url in frontend".
2. Add the following to your .htaccess file or Apache server configuration:
   
   

   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
   RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

I am using the Plesk admin and I have tried editing the .htaccess file and adding a web.config file based on some responses here.  Of course, I tried each separately.  Neither seems to redirect the http  to https.  Should I be doing something different in Plesk.  I did not try your suggestion because I am not using Cpanel.  Any help appreciated.

RewriteEngine On
# This will enable the Rewrite capabilities
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
# This checks to make sure the connection is not already HTTPS
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]
# This rule will redirect users from their original location, to the same location but using HTTPS.
# i.e. http://www.example.com/foo/ to https://www.example.com/foo/
# The leading slash is made optional so that this will work either in httpd.conf
# or .htaccess context
