What does “Too many redirects” mean and how can I fix it?

The "Too many redirects" error occurs when a website enters an endless redirection loop, repeatedly redirecting the browser between different URLs without reaching a destination.

Possible causes
Possible solution: Disable "Force SSL with HTTPS Redirect"

Possible causes

Misconfigured website settings:
Incorrect URLs (e.g., in WordPress) can trigger redirect loops.

Problems with the .htaccess file:
Incorrect or conflicting rules can cause unintended redirects.
➔ Test your .htaccess file

SSL/TLS configuration issues:
Forcing HTTPS without a valid SSL certificate can lead to too many redirects.

Incorrect redirect rules in server configuration:
Faulty or duplicate redirect rules can create a redirection loop.

Plugin or theme conflicts (in CMS systems like WordPress):
Conflicts between plugins or themes can cause faulty redirects.

Possible solution: Disable "Force SSL with HTTPS Redirect"

Sometimes, the "Force SSL with HTTPS Redirect" setting on Web and Reseller Hosting packages can cause this error.

Follow these steps to disable it:

Log in at https://voorbeeld.cc:2222 (or use Single Sign-On (SSO)).
Under Account Manager, click Domain Setup.
Select the domain where you want to disable the setting.
Uncheck the option Force SSL with https redirect.
Click Save.


🔍 Afterwards, check if the error is resolved.
If so, there was likely a conflict with a rule in your .htaccess file or site configuration.

🔄 Remember to replace voorbeeld.cc with your own domain name.
