HTTPS redirect not working

Question

My old domain is paradise-greece.com and I am forwarding to my new website paradisemykonos.com via Godaddy dashboard (301). Problem is, Google crawled https://www.paradise-greece.com/ which doesn't redirect, but using the http (unsecured) works fine. Search results are showing the secure https that doesn't seem to redirect to new website.

A solution might be to create a htacess to redirect the https to new domain, but I am not sure how to do it.

Thank you in advance!

I assume that you're using an URL forwarding service and those typically only work for plain HTTP, not for HTTPS. The canonical solution is to point your "old" domain to a webserver, frequently the same web server as where your new domain is hosted, with DNS records (A, AAAA or CNAME records) . On that webserver you install a second minimal website, with a valid TLS certificate, for the old domain and then configure that website issue the necessary redirects yourself. That will also allow to direct specific old pages to new pages etc. — HBruijn, Mar 08 '24 at 14:48
Is there any easier solution? Looks hard for me to do all that. — Paschalis Vlahos, Mar 08 '24 at 14:57
More or less the same is to (re-active) a managed web hosting plan for your old domain and then run permanent redirects from there. I can of course be in the wrong, but I don't know of redirect services that will redirect https requests — HBruijn, Mar 08 '24 at 15:16
