how do i access a http:// website

Hi Carlos,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

A website is accessed by entering its address, also known as a URL, into the browser's address bar. A URL consists of several parts, such as the protocol, the domain name, and the path. For example, the URL of this page is [https://www.bing.com](https://www.bing.com/chat "www.bing.com").

The protocol indicates how the browser should communicate with the website's server. The most common protocols are HTTP and HTTPS, which stand for Hypertext Transfer Protocol and Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, respectively. HTTPS is a more secure version of HTTP that encrypts the data exchanged between the browser and the server.

To access a website that uses HTTP, you simply need to type http:// followed by the domain name of the website, such as [http://example.com](http://example.com "example.com"). However, some websites may automatically redirect you to their HTTPS version, which means you will see https:// in the address bar instead of http://. This is because HTTPS is considered a best practice for web security and privacy.

If you want to access a website that uses HTTPS, you need to type https:// followed by the domain name of the website, such as [https://example.com](https://example.com "example.com"). Alternatively, you can use a search engine like Bing to find the website and click on the link that starts with https://.

I hope this helps.  If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Your Sincerely
