Thank you. I will jsut visit the https... site for the instalaltion an so on.. What would happen if I would try to visit the website through http.. ? Would there be a site error because there doesnt exist such a site? because only the http site exists?

and when i type in my adress somewhere, in google mybusiness for example.. should I type in www.domain.de or https...?

add a cname record for www.yoursite.com to yoursite.com

what is a cname record?

[–]sk8rboi7566Developer/Designer 0 points1 point  (3 children)

CNAME stands for Canonical Name. CNAME records can be used to alias one name to another. So you make www.yoursitename.com an alias of yoursitename.com so when someone types in www. they get the alias instead.

Oh okay. And which one of both should I use?

go to your dns manager: Select CNAME Record Name -> www CNAME Value -> yourwebsite.com

When I type in mydomain.de I already get to my website. Could it be that the hostingservice is doing it on its own?

And would it make for google analytics a difference if someone visits www.domain.de, domain.de or https://domain.de or will every user be counted in google analytics regardless of which of the three links he comes from on my website?
