Testing Your Domain:

After setting up DNS, test your domain:

• Visit https://greenenvironment.co.ke
• Visit https://www.greenenvironment.co.ke (should redirect to non-www)
• Check that HTTPS is working properly

Server Requirements:

Make sure your web server is configured to:

• Serve files from the directory containing your index.html
• Support HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate
• Handle the .htaccess file for redirects and security headers

SSL Certificate:

You’ll need an SSL certificate for HTTPS. Options:

• Let’s Encrypt (free)
• Your hosting provider’s SSL
• Commercial SSL certificate
