Jim Munro: test
William Rock: I wanted to make sure you have the www. and non www correct .. when I read the question it shows this

Now i purchase SSL and redirected www.xyz.com to https://xyz.com

and noticed that https version does not have www .. as you will want to keep it consistent you will also want to build a 301 Redirect from the non http to the https in your .htaccess file ..

I hope that helps
