By default, all domain names are using http protocol. In order to use https, an SSL certificate is required. All certificates are installed over hosting server and connection with domain should be direct ( A record, CNAME record, NS records). URL redirect is considered as indirect and will not let you use https protocol.
URL Redirect on our Basic nameservers works through our URL Forwarding server. There is no SSL certificate on this server and it is not possible to set a custom one on it, unfortunately. Therefore, it will not be possible to create https redirect, only http one.
In this scenario I dont think thats its possible to use www along Https ;/
Also, by "Site is currently unavailable" page, do you mean 5XX errors that appear when there's a server error or the certificate error when you access the forum from the old (FreeFlarum's) URL?
Nah. I mean that lets say I delete CNAME record (theoretically) from my DNS panel. Therefore my users cant access site. And see some "Site is unavailable" error.
If there is master of dumb qestions badge available I should probably get one
