There are three ways to do this...a Refresh metatage in your index.html 
file, the Redirect command, or Rewrite rules;

The refresh tag, I'll leave you to google.

For a redirect, in the VirtualHost section for your basic site, you could 
put in this line:

Redirect / https://my.site.domain

The drawback to both is that if the viewer puts in anything other than 
just "http://my.site.domain";, such as "http://my.site.domain/test";, it 
won't be redirected.

The following rewrite rule (which I'm using on my home system, as well as 
for a number of sites at work), also placed into the VirtualHost section 
for the site in question, will redirect everything:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(/.*)          http://my.site.domain$1 [L,R]
