HTTPS Redirect .htaccess issue with addon domain

I own multiple domain names under a single main domain as an addon domain.
I also purchased an SSL certificate for the main domain.
To force all non-SSL to SSL, I use the following .htaccess code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^$ https://www.maindomain.com/$1 [R,L]

This works fine, but the issue is if I enter addondomain.info, it also redirects to https://www.maindomain.com/addondomain.info/.

I want only the main domain to do https redirection.
How to do that?

Note : If I enter www.addondomain.info, instead of simply addondomain.info, it works fine.

May vary depending on your hosting conditions, however in my experience, The Only logic that managed to force all to https and exclude a subdomain in a shared hosting environment looks like:

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?ADDON_DOMAIN\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule .* - [L]
# This is essential in order to ensure no further conditions are applied after navigating to the add-on domain #
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
# Now that you've defined your exclusion AND made certain its logic is independent from all other URI Requests, Must re-establish this condition once more #
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Add another condition to it:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?maindomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ https://www.maindomain.com/$1 [R,L]

Also, you'll want to place this at the very top of your htaccess file so that it gets applied before any other rules.
