Hello, @Zulqarnainkhan

At the moment you do not have a http to https redirection for your domain, meaning it will redirect only the https version to the other domain name.

In order to force your site to always load with https you can use the following rule in the .htaccess file:

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

Another rule you can use to redirect all the traffic from https://example.com to https://bmerk.com is using a rule like this one in your .htaccess file:

Redirect 301 / https://bmerk.com

Hope this helps

Regards, Alex
