Switching Back from Custom Domain to Default

Terran · November 21, 2017

I switched to a custom domain because I was under the impression we were getting SSL soon. It now looks like it won't be happening anytime soon, so I am debating going back to the default domain name for my smugmug site. My question is, will people who go to my custom domain still be directed to my website or will they get an error message saying it's not found. All my business cards have the custom domain on them.
My only other option is to abandon smugmug, and transfer my custom domain to my weebly website.

You could set your custom domain, at your host level, to redirect to the non-custom domain URL.

However, SSL support for custom domains is coming soon

Thanks so much for your reply, leftquark. I will look into redirecting, but if you think this is happening soon (within a month or two) I will hold off.

That's the current plan

As of today we've begun enabling full SSL (https) redirects from http to https across entire sites. Any non-https URL will get redirected to https. The roll-out should complete by Friday - let us know if you're not seeing automatic redirection after then.

You can see my site, for example, http://www.aaronmphotography.com will automatically redirect to https://www.aaronmphotography.com
