It is really simple using .htaccess with mod_rewrite.
Here is all you need:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://site.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Another more graceful way is to use the %{SERVER_NAME}variable to make it dynamic. Just be careful that the server name will always match what you expect. (eg. if you are doing load balancing or clustering what if the server name may be somethi........
The below forces all request to your domain to go to the main non-www root domain.

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://newurl.com/subdir/$1 [R=301,L]
If you don't want it to go to a subdirectory:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=domain.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://newurl.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} p=55 [NC]
RewriteRule .* /new-url/? [R=301,L]
You can change the p=55 to whatever your query string looks like.
Remember to keep the "?" at the end of the new URLunless you really want the query s........
This is something that happens a lot and it is very dirty, as you probably know each site is hosted on a certain IP address. Sometimes a domain is hosted by a single IP address and the IP address defaults to this very same domain.
This means that if someone buys domain abcd.com and enters your IP address (the one of your website) as the A record, your content will show up on their domain as if it was their own.
There is an easy way to prevent this by using .htacces........
