    I have a site

    https://www.investorresourcesnetwork.com/

    and my problem is that I want to keep it secure as it is and want that its url should have http:// instead of https://


    So can anybody help me to resolve this problem.

    Thanks.

    https is the name of the secure protocol, it is how the browser asks the server for a secure page, so you can't really change that. If you use http in the URL the browser will request the non-secure version. Either it's a secure page or it isn't.

    You could try embedding the https page inside an http frameset so the URL doesn't show up as https in the address bar, but all that will do is hide the security of your site from its users, and create other problems like make it harder to bookmark.

    It seems like rather a strange thing to want to do, what exactly are you trying to achieve?

    I actually want to do SEO for this site. But due to https i face many problems as a lot of analysis tools do not accept this url. While directory submission many forms and scripts reject this url. So please suggest me what should be done.

    Why don't you just use your normal pages that you want to submit directories:

    http://www.investorresourcesnetwork.com/

    Then make certain parts of your site secure by changing to https instead of http. For example, on a form that a user submit information, switch to https. Most of the other pages don't need https anyway.
