    Https is the term used for Secure Socket Layer, if I remember correctly.

    I think you have to pay for that service with your domain registrar. If you haven't, it obviously won't redirect anywhere that is your webpage.

    Correct me if I'm wrong.

    It looks like "https" goes to a site that relates to your hosting service, at least it does for my two websites.

    Like I said, I think you have to pay for this service for it to become active.

    It's mainly for banks and other websites that need to encrypt data being sent. You could read the wiki on it if you were interested.

    Many sites that accept credit card numbers or other sensitive data will also use it.

    However, the reason your website would redirect to an MFA site is probably due to adware and browser hijacks on your own computer. Try typing in a non-sense domain name and see if you get a "server not found" error or get sent to an ad page.

    no, its not hijacking, probably your host redirects all the https traffic in domains that doesnt have ssl certificate to their landing pages, big hostings get free traffic that way
