mywebsite.com won't load but https://mywebsite.com works
I have a website hosted on Linode, pbcdata.com. But when I type "pbcdata.com" in my browser, I get the error "This site can't be reached."
But if I type https://pbcdata.com, it loads just fine.
My DNS records on Linode look like this.

This is not a DNS issue…it's an issue with how your web site is configured. You have no configuration for your web server to respond to http://pbcdata.com. Access to a non-SSL site is not guaranteed when you configure an SSL site. You should redirect
to
In apache2 you can do this by adding the following to the configuration of your website:
Redirect permanent / https://pbcdata.com/
OR
configure your browser to do this redirect by default. YMMV.
