Support Request: Need Help with Domain Redirect, File Manager Access & SSL Setup for aniamodzelewski.com and aniamodzelewski.net

Hello Homestead Support Team,

I hope you’re doing well. I'm writing to request assistance for the following issues related to my domain aniamodzelewski.com, which is managed under my Homestead account:

1. Request to Set Up 301 Redirect

I want to permanently redirect my domain aniamodzelewski.com to a new domain aniamodzelewski.net.
After checking thoroughly, I couldn't find any domain forwarding or redirect options in the Homestead control panel or domain management area.

Please let me know:

• Do you provide a built-in option for 301 redirect or domain forwarding?

• If yes, kindly guide me through the steps.

• If not, can I configure this through an .htaccess file or any other method?

 2. Access to File Manager or .htaccess

I also tried to locate the File Manager or access to backend files (like .htaccess) to manually set up the redirect — but there doesn’t appear to be any visible access in the interface.
Please assist with:

• How can I access the File Manager or root files?

• Are there any specific steps or permissions needed to enable this?

3. SSL Not Active for My Domain

My domain aniamodzelewski.com (and others on Homestead) do not currently have SSL certificates enabled. Visitors see "Not Secure" warnings, which can lead to poor user experience and SEO issues.
Please confirm:

• Does Homestead provide free SSL certificates?

• If yes, how can I activate SSL for my domain?

• If not, are there any workarounds using Cloudflare or other methods?

 What I’ve Already Done

• Changed the nameservers to Cloudflare (active)

• DNS now managed via Cloudflare dashboard

• Confirmed site is still pointing to Homestead servers

• Checked all domain settings: Advanced DNS, Site Association, Domain Control

• No redirect or SSL options found in the panel

📩 What I Need from You

1. Confirmation or steps to enable 301 redirect from aniamodzelewski.com to aniamodzelewski.net

2. Access or instructions to reach File Manager or edit .htaccess

3. Help in enabling or integrating SSL certificates for the domain

I would greatly appreciate a step-by-step response or guidance on each point above.
Thank you in advance for your time and support.

Best regards,
