Forcing domain to load over HTTPS

I've recently installed on my website a CloudFlare SSL Certificate. However, when I am trying to force my website over HTTPS, I fail.

I firstly attempted to create a redirect from HTTP to HTTPS from my web host control panel (Hostinger), but apparently, you cannot create a redirect for the same website.

After this, I went to the .htaccess file and edited it, adding the following codes:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

Error: The broswer does not redirects me to load the domain over HTTPS.

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

Error: In Google Chrome I get the following error screen:

This webpage has a redirect loop

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

In Opera, the web page does not load.

I tried to delete my Chrome's cache, but it still didn't work.

Any tips?

You can utilise CloudFlare's page rules. Login to your account, head over to page rules. Click "Create Page Rule".

type in your domain name in the following format: http://example.com/* and add the setting

Always use HTTPS

Then press save and wait 30 seconds.
